2016 Aston Martin Rapide 5.9L Petrol · K66 JLA

The Aston Martin Rapide presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 December 2025 at 20,233 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from 4 January 2022 through to that date shows a clean result, with no advisories or failures logged against the vehicle. The mechanical history indicates consistent statutory compliance and no escalation of faults across the observed period. Recorded mileage stands at 20,233 miles against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 2,023 miles per year. The test on 4 January 2022 captured 16,596 miles, rising to 17,788 by 9 January 2023, 18,895 by 12 January 2024, 19,798 by 10 January 2025, and 20,233 by December 2025. This reflects light, steady use with no abrupt accumulation and no gaps exceeding the standard twelve-month cycle. The sparse, unblemished record suggests the car has seen limited seasonal exposure rather than neglected storage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as low-mileage vehicles left standing can develop perished rubber components and superficial corrosion unseen in a pass-only MOT. The absence of flagged brake binding or exhaust emission concerns is reassuring, yet the V12 drivetrain and structural integrity warrant physical verification beneath the sills and subframes. Given the clean advisory sheet, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory standards, though the record alone cannot confirm fluid intervals or tyre age. Treat the verdict as founded on test outcomes only, not a substitute for a marque-specific pre-purchase examination.
