2012 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · 850 RJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record following a minor historical failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 June 2025 at 15,107 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained maintained despite the low usage intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2012-model, averaging approximately 1,079 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 12,123 miles and June 2025 at 15,107 miles, the car covered only 2,984 miles over nearly four years. The gap between the November 2022 failure and the December 2022 pass shows only 100 miles of travel, which implies the issue identified at that time was a simple consumable item or minor adjustment rectified immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. A buyer must address the risks associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. While the MOT record shows no structural rust or brake caliper issues, the lack of use often leads to degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and gaskets. A physical inspection should focus on checking for flat spots on the tyres and examining the brake discs for surface corrosion from lack of friction. Additionally, the fluid levels and condition should be verified for moisture contamination, as the MOT does not assess the internal health of the engine or the state of the suspension bushings.
