2006 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 4.3L Petrol · 902 CUP

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent test on 12 July 2025 at 152,098 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the last five consecutive annual tests indicates a well-maintained vehicle that currently meets all roadworthiness standards without reservation. This consistent record suggests a careful ownership approach, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues requiring remedial action. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,200 miles per year. Analyzing the intervals between tests reveals a consistent usage pattern. Between July 2021 and July 2022, the vehicle covered 4,438 miles. The following year, June 2022 to June 2023, saw 3,393 miles added. Mileage then increased to 4,027 miles for the June 2023 to July 2024 period, and finally 4,126 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This steady, low-mileage accumulation suggests light, regular use rather than prolonged standing or high-stress long-distance touring. Despite the impeccable MOT record, a 21-year-old Range Rover at 152,098 miles demands a rigorous physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and aging components. The tester flagged no corrosion or suspension issues in recent years, but buyers must inspect the chassis rails, crossmembers, and bulkhead for hidden rust, a common affliction on vehicles of this vintage. Examine the air suspension compressor and air springs for delayed response or leaks, as these systems degrade with age regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, alongside the condition of the suspension bushes and drivetrain components. The pristine paper trail proves the vehicle passes regulatory standards, but a hands-on assessment of these aging mechanical and structural parts remains essential.
