2012 Aston Martin Vanquish 5.9L Petrol · LF62 FYM

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite the emergence of minor recurring hardware issues. The most recent test in September 2025 at 45,122 miles passed with advisories for corrosion on the ferrule of both the nearside and offside front brake hoses. This specific issue first appeared in the September 2024 test at 44,883 miles, indicating that the corrosion is persistent but has not yet reached a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between November 2021 and September 2025, the car covered just 6,280 miles, suggesting periods of infrequent use or long-term storage. While this low mileage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based components and fluid-related systems. The records between 2021 and 2023 show the vehicle was mechanically sound during those intervals. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the corrosion on the hose ferrules does not progress to structural failure or cause fluid leaks. Given the low usage and age, it is equally vital to examine the condition of suspension bushes, seals, and tyres for cracking or dry rot caused by age rather than mileage. Checking the state of the brake discs for pitting or rust is also necessary, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface oxidation that affects braking performance.
