ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH2012 · 5.9L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improvement following previous mechanical interventions. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 19,061 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural concerns identified in earlier years have been addressed. The car currently maintains a clean record across its last three inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,360 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 17,297 miles and August 2025 at 19,061 miles, the car covered only 1,764 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluids due to long periods of inactivity rather than physical friction. A buyer must focus their in-person inspection on the brake system and fluid lines given the recurring corrosion issues noted in 2021 and 2022. The tester previously flagged corrosion on all four brake pipes, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles sitting in damp environments. Although the 2025 pass suggests these were rectified, a physical check is required to ensure no weeping joints or perished hoses remain from the previous failures. Additionally, the history shows perishing on the front tyres in 2021 and 2022. Because the vehicle travels so infrequently, the rubber compound may suffer age-related dry rot even if they retain significant tread depth. You should inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking and examine the suspension bushings for cracks, as these components often fail from time and environmental exposure regardless of the mileage driven.
