ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE2017 · 5.9L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following a pass on 03 March 2026 at 28,196 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a positive trend in maintenance, as the most recent inspection shows no advisories, marking a significant improvement over the recurring tyre-related issues noted in previous years. The absence of faults in the 2026 test suggests that the current owner has addressed the previous pattern of neglect regarding consumable components. The recorded mileage of 28,196 over nine years confirms a low-usage profile, averaging approximately 3,133 miles annually. This consistent, low-mileage accumulation indicates the car has likely been used as a weekend or fair-weather vehicle rather than a daily driver. While this limited use reduces wear on the drivetrain and chassis, the history of recurring tyre edge wear suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary or suffered from poor alignment settings, which can lead to flat-spotting or uneven degradation of rubber compounds. Potential buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and wheel alignment, as the persistent tyre wear noted between 2023 and 2025 points to a potential underlying issue with tracking or camber settings. Although the tyres were flagged as worn on the edge, verify that the current set shows even tread depth across the entire width of the contact patch. Given the low mileage, inspect the condition of all rubber bushes and seals, as these components can perish or harden when a vehicle is left standing for extended durations. Ensure the braking system operates smoothly, checking for any signs of surface corrosion on the discs that often results from infrequent use.
