2013 Aston Martin Rapide 5.9L Petrol · CO07 JMS

The vehicle currently holds a valid pass certificate issued in January 2026, remaining current as of June 2026. This result continues a clean streak following the successful retest in December 2023, indicating that identified faults were addressed promptly. Maintenance trends appear stable over the last two years, showing no recurring advisory notes on suspension or braking systems. The absence of recent warnings suggests the powertrain and chassis are functioning within acceptable parameters for a roadworthy vehicle at this moment. Anomalies exist within the mileage history that demand attention. While the current odometer reads 34,365 miles, the official record shows 48,940 miles during the December 2022 test. This represents a decrease of over seventeen thousand miles by the time of the next test in December 2023. Such a regression is inconsistent with normal operation and suggests either a recording error or potential odometer tampering. Buyers should verify the actual distance covered against service invoices to confirm the true age and wear profile of internal components. Physical inspection must focus on areas prone to damage from low annual usage. The December 2023 failure noted inoperative engine management lights and worn rear tyres, so verify the current engine health and tyre manufacture dates beyond legal tread limits. Long periods of inactivity often cause brake calipers to bind and rubber suspension bushes to perish prematurely. Examine the bodywork for corrosion along the sills and wheel arches, as standing water and moisture accumulation pose risks to structural integrity even on premium marques. Confirm all fluids are fresh and free of contamination before finalising the transaction.
