ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE2009 · 5.9L PETROL

This Aston Martin Vantage presents a significant concern regarding its recent history. While the car has covered very low mileage for its 17-year age, averaging roughly 2,208 miles per year, the most alarming factor is that the vehicle has not recorded a fresh MOT test since September 2020. This indicates the car has likely been off the road and potentially sitting idle for nearly six years. The historical MOT data reveals a recurring pattern of tyre degradation. In both 2018 and 2019, the vehicle failed to maintain its rubber components, with notes specifically citing perishing and cracking on the tread edges. This is a classic symptom of a vehicle that spends long periods stationary, as tyres lose their structural integrity and develop flat spots or dry rot when left in one position for extended durations. Because there is no test data from the last six years, the current mechanical condition is entirely unknown. A vehicle of this age that has been parked for such a long time is at high risk for seized brake calipers, perished rubber bushes, leaking seals, and fuel system deterioration. The low mileage is not a guarantee of a pristine car; in this context, it is a warning sign of long-term inactivity that can be just as damaging as high-mileage wear. The trend cannot be classified as improving or stable because the data is effectively frozen in 2020.
