2014 Aston Martin Vanquish 5.9L Petrol · V12 BHX

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until February 2027, having passed its last test on 27 February 2026 at 25,101 miles with zero recorded defects. This clean result continues an unbroken five-test streak dating back to November 2022, indicating a stable maintenance trajectory rather than any improving or worsening mechanical trend. Each annual examination returns without primary failures, secondary advisories, or dangerous faults, which demonstrates that critical systems including suspension mounting points, brake linings, steering linkages, and exhaust emissions consistently meet DVSA standards across the reporting period. Recorded progression shows roughly 2,092 miles added annually across twelve years of ownership, placing this example well below average usage for a grand tourer of this specification. The odometer advances from 15,379 miles in November 2022 to 22,768 miles by August 2025, then reaches 25,101 miles fourteen months later in February 2026. That final interval reveals a slower accumulation rate compared to the preceding three-year block, which typically correlates with extended storage periods or selective driving conditions. The complete absence of advisory notes regarding tyre tread depth, wiper blade wear, or fluid levels further confirms the chassis spends considerable time stationary rather than enduring heavy motorway commuting. Buyers should prioritise a physical assessment of components that degrade during prolonged idling rather than those subject to high-mileage fatigue. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes, steering rack boots, and coil spring perches for hardening or micro-cracking caused by static load distribution. Check the brake caliper pistons for corrosion binding and verify that the clutch release bearing operates smoothly after sitting, as dry seals frequently develop leaks when hydraulic systems remain inactive. Examine the underbody for surface oxidation around sump drains and differential breathers, and confirm that battery terminals show no sulphate buildup before commissioning the vehicle for regular operation.
