ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE2016 · 5.9L PETROL

Most recent MOT (02 Oct 2024 – PASS) The car passed the test at 25,235 mi, the only recorded defect being “both rear tyres worn on inside edge”. No other safety or mechanical issues were noted. Recurring pattern All four MOTs that list tyre condition point to rear‑tyre wear, initially on the edges and later on the inside edge. The front tyres were only flagged once (2020) for minor outer‑edge damage. There are no recorded defects for suspension, brakes, engine or emissions. Trend analysis The tyre‑wear advisory has persisted for three consecutive years (2021–2024). The nature of the defect has shifted from “worn to wear bars” to “worn on inside edge”, suggesting the wear is now becoming more localized rather than uniformly thin. This is not a dramatic deterioration, but it does indicate a consistent issue that has not been resolved – likely alignment, camber, or driving style related. Mileage versus age At roughly 2,500 mi per year, the 2016 Aston Martin Rapide is very low‑mileage for a ten‑year‑old super‑saloon. Low mileage can mean the car has been lightly driven, which is generally favourable for engine and drivetrain longevity.
