ASTON MARTIN DB112018 · 5.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 was a pass at 36,988 mi, but the examiner flagged all four tyres as “worn close to the legal limit, worn on the inner edge”. That is a step up from the previous tests, where only the rear tyres showed the same inner‑edge wear (2025, 2024). The pattern is therefore expanding from rear‑only to front‑and‑rear, suggesting the tyre‑wear issue is getting worse rather than stabilising. Across the five‑year MOT record there are no recorded faults other than tyre wear. No brakes, suspension, lights or emissions items have been noted, so the vehicle’s core mechanical condition appears clean on paper. However, the consistent tyre‑wear comment points to a possible underlying cause – likely an alignment or suspension issue, or simply a lack of regular tyre rotation. Because the wear is now evident on the front tyres, the risk of a sudden tyre failure is higher than it was a year ago. At eight years old the car has only 36,988 mi – roughly 4,600 mi per year – which is well below the average for a vehicle of this age. Low mileage can mean the car has been driven gently or has spent long periods off the road. Conversely, the tyre‑wear suggests that when it has been used the tyres may have been subjected to aggressive cornering or have not been rotated often.
