2017 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · JL07 NDL

The most recent MOT test completed on 05 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. When evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle appears to be in a stable condition, although there has been a recent increase in advisories related to consumable components. While the history shows several years of clean passes, the recent advisories concerning brake inspections, under tray fitment, and tyre condition suggest the vehicle is transitioning from a period of potential long-term storage into more regular road use. With a recorded mileage of 20,802 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 2,311 miles per annum. This is significantly lower than the national average and indicates very light usage. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension geometry, it introduces specific risks associated with vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. Low-use performance cars are susceptible to age-related degradation of rubber components, fluid contamination, and the stagnation of mechanical parts which can be more detrimental than high-mileage wear. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the advisory issued in April 2026 regarding the front tyres, which noted edge wear and cracking in the tread. This indicates that the tyres may be reaching the end of their serviceable life due to age-related perishing rather than just tread depth. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic humming or vibration from the front end and check for any pulling to one side, which could indicate an alignment issue. Furthermore, although the rear brake advisory dates back to 2021, you should verify that the braking system is performing smoothly without any shuddering under heavy deceleration or any sticking sensation that might suggest binding calipers. Given the vehicle's low-mileage profile, a thorough physical inspection is essential. Check the tyres thoroughly for sidewall cracking and ensure they are within their age-appropriate lifespan. Inspect the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a car is not driven frequently enough to clear the oxidation. It is also vital to confirm that the service history includes time-based fluid changes for the engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, as these degrade chemically regardless of distance covered. Finally, check the 12V battery health and ensure the under trays are securely fastened to maintain the vehicle's aerodynamic integrity and component protection.
