ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE2019 · 5.9L PETROL

The most recent MOT was on 2025-05-30 at 10,797 miles — passed with no defects. It is just under 13 months old as of today (2026-06-15), so it remains valid and reflects the car’s current roadworthiness. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes since 2022. Only one defect appears across all records: a tyre-related advisory in 2022 noting cracking or perishing on all tyres (category 5.2.3(d)(ii)). No similar tyre advisories appear in 2023, 2024, or 2025 — suggesting either replacement or stabilisation, but not confirmation of full renewal. The defect trend is stable and improving: no new or recurring mechanical, structural, or safety-critical issues have emerged over nearly four years of testing. The single advisory was isolated and has not recurred — a positive sign for maintenance consistency. At 10,797 miles over seven years, this Rapide averages just 1,542 miles annually — well below typical use. Such low mileage can indicate light, careful ownership — but also raises questions about long periods of inactivity. Standing can degrade rubber components (hoses, bushings, seals), brake fluid, coolant, and battery health more than gentle use would.
