ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH2016 · 5.9L PETROL

The most recent MOT, dated 26 February 2026, was passed with no recorded defects at 19,185 mi. This is the fourth consecutive year the car has cleared its MOT without any items flagged, indicating a generally stable condition. The only recorded issue appears in the 2025 MOT (24 February 2025) where the front brake hose showed slight corrosion to the ferrule on both sides. No further problems were noted in the 2024, 2023 or 2022 tests, and the 2026 test again reported no defects. This suggests that the brake‑hose corrosion was either remedied or has not progressed to a point of failure. Overall, the pattern is one isolated, minor defect rather than a recurring or worsening problem. Mileage is very low for a ten‑year‑old Aston Martin Vanquish – about 1,900 mi per year. Such low usage can mean reduced wear on consumables, suspension, brakes and drivetrain, but it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which sometimes leads to rubber ageing, corrosion or seal drying. The low mileage therefore does not guarantee better condition; it simply points to lighter use or possible extended storage. In summary, the vehicle’s MOT record is clean apart from the single brake‑hose note, and the trend over the last five years is stable, if not improving.
