ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH2014 · 5.9L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-31 showed a clean result with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met safety standards at 41,170 miles. This follows a 2025-02-01 MOT also with no defects, suggesting the car has maintained compliance in the last 14 months. However, older records reveal recurring tyre-related issues. In 2023-11-27, the offside front inner tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and in 2021-10-25, the offside front tyre showed signs of cracking or perishing. These issues were addressed prior to subsequent MOTs, as the 2022 and 2025 tests found no defects. The pattern of tyre wear and damage suggests potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions, though the vehicle has passed recent inspections. The low mileage of 3,431 miles per year for a 12-year-old car implies infrequent use or periods of storage, which can lead to component degradation (e.g., rubber parts aging, fluid stagnation). While this may reduce wear on moving parts, it increases the risk of hidden issues requiring inspection. The trend in MOT results shows stability over the past four years, with no new defects emerging after 2023. However, the 2023 report’s mention of a child seat obstructing belt inspection raises concerns about the vehicle’s history of modifications or improper setup, which could affect safety systems.
