ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE F1 EDITION V8 AUTO2022 · 4.0L PETROL

The MOT record presents a stable and reassuring picture of this Vantage's roadworthiness. The most recent test, conducted on 7 May 2026 at 14,770 miles, resulted in a clean pass. The only items flagged were two minor advisories: a nail in the nearside front tyre and a nail in the offside rear tyre. Both are consumable, puncture-related defects rather than mechanical or structural failures. The previous test, on 15 May 2025 at 8,699 miles, passed with zero defects whatsoever. This indicates a vehicle that has been well maintained and kept in excellent mechanical condition across both inspections. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very low use. The car accumulated just 6,071 miles over the 12-month gap between the two tests, which is consistent with the overall annual average of roughly 3,692 miles. This is exceptionally low for a performance car of this calibre. Such light use typically means reduced wear on brake discs, pads, suspension bushes, drivetrain components, and tyres. However, prolonged periods of standing can introduce its own risks, including flat-spotted tyres, dried-out rubber seals, and surface corrosion on brake rotors from infrequent use. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection despite the clean paperwork. The two nail punctures flagged in May 2026 warrant checking for any sidewall damage or slow leaks that may have worsened since the test date. Inspect the tyre sidewalls and tread depth carefully, particularly on the nearside front and offside rear. Given the low mileage, examine the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on brake discs or calipers that can develop when a car sits unused for extended periods. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links deserve attention too, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to perish from age rather than mileage. A short test drive will reveal whether the V8 drivetrain operates smoothly and whether any brake binding or uneven braking surfaces have developed since the last inspection.
