ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE2014 · 5.9L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 showed the 2014 Aston Martin Rapide passed with no defects recorded at 49,466 miles. This follows a series of clean MOTs in 2024, 2022, and 2021, indicating the vehicle has maintained compliance with safety standards over the past four years. The last recorded defects were in 2021-02-01, when rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin and a nearside front inner wheel rim was slightly distorted. These issues were likely addressed prior to the 2021-12-16 MOT, as subsequent tests showed no further defects. The vehicle’s mileage of 49,466 miles over 12 years equates to roughly 4,122 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could suggest light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may impact mechanical condition. Low mileage often correlates with less wear on consumables like brakes and suspension, but it can also lead to issues such as seized components, degraded fluids, or battery failure if the car has not been regularly driven. The absence of recent defects implies the vehicle has not shown signs of accelerated deterioration, but the low usage pattern warrants scrutiny of systems that degrade over time when unused. The MOT history reveals no recurring mechanical patterns beyond the 2021-02-01 issues, which were resolved. There is no evidence of worsening trends in the past four years, as all tests since 2021 have been clean.
