2016 Aston Martin Rapide 5.9L Petrol · HV16 KXA

The 2016 Aston Martin Rapide demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no critical defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-05 MOT at 59,266 miles. The vehicle passed all prior tests, including the 2024-09-18 and 2023-09-11 assessments, with no recorded failures. A single minor failure in 2023-09-07 related to a nearside side repeater light was resolved, indicating routine maintenance. The absence of structural, braking, or suspension issues in recent tests suggests consistent care, though the low mileage of 5,927 per year raises questions about usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 48,305 miles recorded in 2022-09-15, rising to 51,416 miles by 2023-09-11. A brief pause in 2023-09-07, where the mileage remained at 51,408 miles, coincided with the light failure, but no further anomalies are noted. The 2024-09-18 test at 54,302 miles and 2025-09-05 test at 59,266 miles confirm a regular testing schedule. While the data lacks detailed defect specifics beyond the 2023 light issue, the clean record suggests no systemic mechanical or safety concerns. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential for prolonged inactivity. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as infrequent use can exacerbate such issues. The exhaust system and structural integrity warrant checks for rust, as the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern may mask hidden deterioration. The 2025 MOT’s pass status confirms compliance, but physical inspection remains essential to validate the maintenance history.
