1970 ASTON MARTIN 4.0L PETROL

This 1970 Aston Martin shows a history of exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 1,491 miles per year over its life. However, the most immediate concern is that the last recorded MOT test was in January 2010, leaving a significant sixteen-year gap in the safety documentation. The available history indicates a persistent issue with corrosion on the offside front. In 2007, an advisory was recorded for slight corrosion on the vehicle structure, and this was noted again in 2010 as slight corrosion on the body. The mileage increased by only 308 miles between these two tests, confirming the car has spent long periods stationary rather than being driven regularly. While the corrosion was classed as slight over a decade ago, the lack of recent testing makes the current condition ambiguous. There is a risk that corrosion has progressed in the intervening years, particularly given the vehicle's age. The very low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but such light use often leads to deterioration of rubber components and fluids due to aging rather than mileage. You should thoroughly inspect the offside front structure and bodywork to determine if the corrosion noted in 2010 has expanded or become structurally significant. It is also vital to check the condition of the tyres, brake lines, and suspension bushes, as these are prone to perishing on a vehicle that has been stored or used so infrequently.
