1987 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE5.3L Petrol

The Aston Martin Vantage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 5,292 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior four years. Recorded mileage confirms extremely light use for a 39-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 4,846 miles in July 2021 to 5,292 miles by July 2025, an aggregate gain of just 446 miles over four years, or roughly 111 miles annually. No gaps appear in the annual test schedule and no rapid accumulation occurs between entries. The DVSA data shows five consecutive passes with zero advisories, so the history alone reveals no consumable neglect or mechanical fault pattern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Long-standing periods at low mileage accelerate perishing of rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper seals, and flexible fuel lines that static MOT sheets will not expose. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is reassuring, yet an independent check of chassis outriggers, floor pans, and underbody coatings remains prudent given the model's age. Verify the brake discs and pads for pitting from disuse and confirm the tyres are not original or date-expired. The clean test lineage implies careful previous ownership, but static storage hides wear the roller brake test cannot measure.
