MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent

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.
