2008 Aston Martin Vantage 4.3L Petrol · KM08 ACE

The vehicle is in a stable roadworthy condition with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 April 2025 at 52,214 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests, indicating the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids common mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,901 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 49,807 miles and the April 2025 test at 52,214 miles, the car covered only 2,407 miles over three years. This suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than use. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, long periods of standing can lead to perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers. The lack of advisories is positive, but a physical inspection should verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and check that the battery and fluids have been managed during low-use intervals. The absence of recurring faults across the 2021, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests a well-preserved example. There are no indications of neglected consumables or systemic mechanical issues in the official record. Verification of service intervals is now the primary priority to ensure the engine and drivetrain have been exercised and lubricated despite the low annual mileage.
