ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH2004 · 5.9L PETROL

The vehicle presents a consistent history of roadworthiness, with the most recent test in November 2025 at 35,226 miles passing with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements. However, the August 2024 test at 34,067 miles revealed a failure regarding a deteriorated nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. The fact that this was rectified prior to the subsequent pass suggests the owner addresses specific mechanical failures when they are identified rather than allowing them to persist into neglect. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 35,226 miles represents an average of approximately 1,600 miles per year. This low usage profile typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases risks of degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluids due to inactivity. The intervals between tests vary, with a gap of over two years between the 2022 and 2024 entries, which aligns with low-mileage patterns. The tyre inflation light noted in 2024 is a minor maintenance oversight that does not indicate a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and bushings, as the low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from dry rot and cracking in rubber parts despite minimal physical wear. While the record shows no structural integrity issues to date, it is essential to check the brake discs and calipers for pitting or corrosion, which frequently occurs during long periods of standing. The mechanical data shows a stable maintenance trend, but the low mileage necessitates a thorough check of age-related degradation that a standard MOT test does not always capture.
