2017 Aston Martin Vanquish 5.9L Petrol · AM08 RED

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a pristine MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 2 June 2026 at 4,302 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent string of clean passes suggests that the vehicle has remained in a well-preserved state without the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in high-performance machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 478 miles per year. Between February 2022 and June 2026, the car covered only 2,651 miles, indicating long periods of storage or minimal use. The gap between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests shows only 98 miles driven, highlighting the trend of intermittent operation. While low mileage minimizes wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long intervals of standing can lead to specific mechanical issues related to fluid stagnation and rubber perish. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components affected by long-term sitting. The brake discs should be checked for flat spotting or surface corrosion, as calipers often seize when a vehicle remains stationary for extended months. You should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or dry rot, which occurs due to age rather than mileage. Checking the age and condition of the tyres and belts is equally vital, as the tread depth may be sufficient despite material degradation over time.
