ASTON MARTIN DB72002 · 5.9L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on June 2, 2026 at 42,650 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend after a significant mechanical failure in April 2025. While the most recent test showed no defects, the preceding history reveals a period of reactive maintenance where multiple mechanical and safety components failed simultaneously, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed faults once they reached an MOT failure threshold rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,777 miles per year. The data shows long periods of minimal use, with only 143 miles recorded between June 2022 and July 2023, and a mere 20 miles between the May 2025 and June 2026 tests. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces, which is consistent with the pitted brake discs and corroded springs noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system to verify the 2025 failures. The tester previously identified corroded rear coil springs and pitted brake discs, which are common on cars that sit stationary for long periods. The minor play in the drive shaft joints noted in 2025 warrants a close check for boot tears or grease leakage, as these components degrade when neglected. Additionally, the engine management light reported in 2025 should be verified as cleared and to ensure no underlying sensor faults remain, despite the recent clean pass.
