2011 Aston Martin ONE-77 7.3L Petrol · A177 AML

A recurring pattern of auxiliary system failures defines the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, though the overall record remains clean of major mechanical or structural defects. The most recent test on 10 October 2023 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a trend where the only previous failures in 2017 and 2019 were limited to the windscreen washers and headlamp cleaning devices. The recorded mileage of 552 miles over fifteen years is exceptionally low, averaging roughly 37 miles per year. This usage profile indicates a vehicle that has spent the majority of its existence in long-term storage. Such extreme dormancy often impacts the integrity of rubber seals and the functionality of fluid-based systems, which is reflected in the repeated failures of the washing apparatus. Prospective buyers should specifically verify the operation of the windscreen washer pumps and the headlamp cleaning jets, as these components have been flagged as inoperative on two separate occasions. During a physical inspection, check for consistent fluid delivery and ensure there are no blockages in the nozzles or leaks in the delivery lines. Given the four-year gap in testing between 2019 and 2023, the vehicle has experienced significant periods of inactivity. Attention should be paid to any signs of fluid stagnation or perished seals within the auxiliary systems, ensuring that the rectification of the previous washer failures has been permanent and that the systems remain fully operational after further periods of standing.
