Our Verdict
The 2017 Aston Martin Rapide KU66YGP offers strong value for money with an unbroken recent MOT record, though the single tyre-related failure in 2023 warrants minor scrutiny.
Focus on verifying the tyre condition and suspension components, as the 2023 MOT highlighted edge wear on front tyres. Check for consistent service records to confirm maintenance of the 5.9-litre V12 engine. Negotiate based on the vehicle's low mileage and lack of significant defects, though the high-performance nature of the Rapide may limit bargaining power. Be cautious of potential electrical system issues common in older Aston Martins.
The 5.9-litre petrol engine delivers poor fuel economy, with estimated 20-25 mpg. As a 2017 model, it falls in a high insurance group (likely 50+). Annual maintenance costs could reach £1,500-£2,000 for specialist servicing. With a £0 road tax band, annual running costs total £2,500-£3,000.
Inspect the front tyres for uneven wear patterns and check suspension bushes for wear related to the 2023 MOT note. Verify the condition of the V12 engine's timing belt and water pump, which are critical for this engine variant. Test all electrical systems, including the infotainment and climate control, which can develop faults in older models. Confirm the vehicle has not been involved in any accidents using the VIN.
This 2017 Aston Martin Rapide has a clean MOT history for the last three years, with only minor tyre wear noted in 2023. At 53,748 miles, the mileage is below average for its age, and the vehicle's 5.9-litre petrol engine remains reliable. No major defects have been recorded in recent inspections.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Aston Martin Rapide model, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Window Motor & Regulator Failure(Moderate)
The frameless glass on the swan-wing doors is controlled by complex motors that often become sluggish or fail entirely.
- Rear Adaptive Damper Leaks(Serious)
The extra weight of the Rapide puts strain on the rear dampers. Leaks are common and replacements are very expensive.
- V12 Timing Cover Oil Leaks(Moderate)
The Rapide shares the DB9's V12 engine and is equally prone to timing cover oil leaks. The longer wheelbase and additional heat exposure can accelerate seal degradation.
