Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a low-mileage enthusiast, provided a full service history can be verified. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing no recorded defects over the last four years.
While the MOT history is clean, prospective buyers must look beyond the test certificates. For a high-performance 5.9L V12 vehicle, the most critical step is verifying a comprehensive service history, as MOT records do not reflect mechanical maintenance or fluid changes.
Negotiate based on the documented service intervals. Given the low mileage, ensure that any scheduled major service items required by the manufacturer have been addressed. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or brake component degradation, which are common areas of concern for high-torque vehicles.
Running this 5935cc petrol engine will involve substantial costs. Expect high fuel consumption consistent with a large-capacity V12, and insurance groups for this model are typically very high.
Maintenance costs for an Aston Martin are significantly higher than standard vehicles; while the MOT shows no recent failures, typical repairs for this model can be expensive. Estimated annual running costs are high due to the combination of premium fuel requirements and specialist maintenance needs.
Focus your inspection on the consumables that frequently appear in aggregate model data, such as tyres and headlamps. Although this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the model aggregate data suggests these are common failure points for the Rapide.
Check the condition of the tyres and the clarity of the headlamp lenses. Additionally, pay close attention to the engine's electronic systems and dashboard indicators, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a noted failure reason for this model type in wider datasets.
This 2010 Aston Martin Rapide, finished in Silver, presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age. With 44,984 miles recorded at its last MOT in June 2025, it has covered much less than the model average of 2,702 miles per year. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes with zero recorded defects across four consecutive tests.
The Aston Martin Rapide shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.5% across 937 analysed vehicles, though common failures include tyres and lighting.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Window Motor & Regulator Failure(Moderate)
The frameless glass on the swan-wing doors is controlled by complex motors that often become sluggish or fail entirely.
- Rear Adaptive Damper Leaks(Serious)
The extra weight of the Rapide puts strain on the rear dampers. Leaks are common and replacements are very expensive.
- V12 Timing Cover Oil Leaks(Moderate)
The Rapide shares the DB9's V12 engine and is equally prone to timing cover oil leaks. The longer wheelbase and additional heat exposure can accelerate seal degradation.
