ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE2012 · 4.7L PETROL

The most recent MOT, dated 23 September 2025, was a clean pass at 31,902 miles with no defects recorded. This mirrors the previous four tests (2024‑08‑28, 2024‑02‑22, 2023‑02‑15 and 2022‑02‑28), all of which also passed without any recorded issues. The pattern is therefore consistently fault‑free over the last four years. Because every MOT in the record shows no failures, the condition trend appears stable rather than worsening. There is no evidence of emerging safety‑related problems such as brake, suspension or exhaust faults that would normally be flagged as defects. At 31,902 miles for a 2012 model the vehicle averages about 2,300 miles per year, which is well below the typical usage for a sports car of this age. Low mileage can mean reduced wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and clutch, but it can also indicate long periods of inactivity. Prolonged standing can lead to issues that are not captured by MOT tests, for example dried‑out seals, corrosion in the under‑body, or uneven tyre wear. Given the clean MOT history, the principal risk for a buyer is not a known defect but the possibility of hidden wear from under‑use. The car should be inspected for: any signs of fluid leaks, especially oil, coolant and brake fluid; the condition of the seals and hoses, looking for cracks or brittleness; tyre tread depth and uniformity, and for any dry‑rot on the sidewalls; the operation of the brakes (pad thickness, rotor condition) and the suspension for any unusual noises or play; a full service history to confirm regular maintenance despite the low mileage.
