2018 Aston Martin DB11 4.0L Petrol · LC18 MXW

The vehicle has maintained a consistent roadworthiness status, passing all MOT tests since 2022 with only minor advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test in January 2026 confirmed no critical failures, though a potential coolant leak near the rear transaxle was flagged. This issue warrants attention as it could point to a developing problem in a high-stress area of the powertrain or cooling system, particularly given the car's low annual mileage and the proximity to the current date—just five months prior. Mileage accumulation remains exceptionally low for an eight-year-old grand tourer, averaging just over 2,800 miles per year. The recorded readings show steady but light use: 2,229 miles between January 2025 and 2026, 2,197 miles the previous year, and similar increments before that. There are no sudden jumps or unexplained gaps in the log, suggesting regular but infrequent driving rather than long-term storage or neglect. The consistency supports the idea of careful ownership, though prolonged periods of inactivity between drives could still affect seals, fluids, or battery health despite the clean test history. Tyre-related issues appear recurrently, with nails and screws noted in three out of the last four tests, including a rear tyre down to 3mm tread depth in early 2025. While none resulted in failure, they highlight exposure to road hazards or possible alignment quirks. A buyer should inspect the full condition of the current tyres, suspension components—including bushings and ball joints—and brake system, especially rear calipers and discs, which may suffer from lack of use. The reported coolant leak must be physically verified—check for staining, fluid levels, and thermal performance under load—as unresolved seepage around the transaxle could lead to more serious mechanical compromise. Overall, the car appears well-maintained but demands scrutiny of age-sensitive systems beyond what the MOT advisories alone reveal.
