1987 Aston Martin Lagonda 6.0L Petrol · D176 JJD

This 1987 Aston Martin Lagonda presents a concerning roadworthiness profile, anchored by a single isolated test on 2021-11-26 where the vehicle passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. Because nearly five years have elapsed since this last examination, the current mechanical and structural condition remains entirely unverified. This extended silence in the DVSA record means the maintenance trend cannot be reliably classified as stable or worsening without a thorough physical re-inspection. Mileage progression data is entirely absent from the historical record, leaving the odometer reading officially listed as unknown. The lack of sequential test data prevents any calculation of annual mileage accumulation or verification of wear patterns. Such vast gaps in the testing timeline for a classic hand-built saloon usually indicate long periods of storage, restoration work, or lapses in statutory testing, all of which require documentary corroboration from the seller. A physical inspection must prioritize the complex electrical architecture and hydraulic systems unique to this era of Aston Martin engineering, alongside the structural integrity of the chassis and body panels. Prospective buyers need to check for hidden corrosion beneath the aluminum skin panels welded to the steel frame, as well as potential leaks or pressure losses in the sophisticated suspension and braking systems. Consumable items and rubber components will likely have degraded significantly during the prolonged inactivity indicated by the MOT record.
