ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH2002 · 5.9L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its MOT on 15 June 2026 at 8,774 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent result indicates a shift toward age-related degradation. While the 2025 test showed no defects, the latest inspection flagged minor perishing and cracking on all four tyres, suggesting that the rubber components have reached the end of their life despite the low distance covered. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 366 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2026, the car covered only 222 miles, moving from 8,552 to 8,774 miles. This pattern indicates the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which often leads to specific mechanical issues such as fluid breakdown, dry seals, and corrosion rather than mechanical wear from use. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and rubber components. The 2024 test at 8,690 miles identified a severely deteriorated nearside front upper suspension arm ball joint dust cover, indicating that rubber boots are prone to cracking on this model. Given the recent failure for tyre perishing, an inspector should check all other rubber bushings, drive belts, and brake lines for signs of dry rot or splitting. The low mileage also increases the risk of brake calipers seizing or flat spotting, which should be verified during a test drive.
