ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE2008 · 4.3L Petrol

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 5,641 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent four-year pattern of flawless test results, indicating a car that has been maintained to a very high standard. The mileage is remarkably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 313 miles per year. Between the 2 March 2022 test at 5,151 miles and the most recent 2026 entry, the car covered only 490 miles. Such minimal usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in stationary storage rather than in active daily service. While the MOT record is devoid of mechanical failures, the low mileage pattern introduces specific risks associated with long-term standing. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system to check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs. Rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, should be examined for perishing or dry rot regardless of the tread depth or lack of MOT advisories. The absence of any recorded corrosion or structural issues over the last five years is positive. However, given the low annual mileage, it is advisable to verify the condition of the engine seals and fluid levels to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from oil starvation or moisture ingress during periods of inactivity.
