ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH2007 · 5.9L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The latest test in June 2024 at 15,444 miles passed without defects despite a Tapley test requirement due to the presence of a limited-slip differential. This follows two years of clean records in 2022 and 2023 where no defects or advisories were noted at all. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 813 miles per year. Between June 2020 and June 2024, the car covered only 1,546 miles, moving from 13,898 to 15,444 miles. While this suggests the car has been stored or used sparingly, such low annual mileage over long periods often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the suspension and steering components to address the effects of age and static sitting. The 2021 test at 14,152 miles identified damaged or deteriorated dust covers on both the nearside and offside rear outer steering linkage ball joints. Although these were rectified in subsequent tests, the buyer should check for current signs of perished rubber or seized bushings. Because the vehicle has sat for extended periods, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which are common issues on low-mileage high-performance cars that are not driven regularly.
