2004 Aston Martin Vanquish 5.9L Petrol · CT53 NHC

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a lack of major failures and a recent clean pass on 23 October 2025. While the history is largely stable, a brief period of rubber component deterioration was noted in late 2024, though the subsequent test indicates these issues have been resolved or are no longer present. The recorded mileage of 23,856 miles over a 22-year period represents an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 1,084 miles. Such a usage profile indicates the vehicle has likely undergone long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this typically results in minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it often accelerates the degradation of rubber seals, bushings, and dust covers due to age and lack of regular lubrication. Inspection should focus on the steering and suspension geometry, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends which were flagged for deteriorated dust covers in September 2024. Prospective buyers should listen for rhythmic knocking or clicking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or during tight, low-speed steering maneuvers. Any perceived looseness or lack of precision in the steering response should be investigated to ensure the ball joints remain free of contamination and wear.
