ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE2015 · 5.9L PETROL

The most recent MOT from March 2026 was a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a minor issue in March 2025, where the nearside front shock absorber was noted to have light misting of oil. The vehicle has covered exceptionally low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 2,233 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, such low usage often implies the car has spent long periods standing. This is supported by the 2023 MOT history, which recorded corrosion on multiple brake pipes and perishing or cracking on all four tyres—symptoms typically associated with age-related deterioration from under-use rather than high mileage. The mechanical trend appears to be improving. After the significant list of defects regarding tyres and brake pipes in 2023, the vehicle has moved through a minor shock absorber advisory in 2025 to a completely clean result in the most recent test. When inspecting the car in person, you should check the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, even if the tread depth is high. You should also closely examine the brake lines for any signs of corrosion and check the shock absorbers for any fresh oil leaks.
