2013 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · LF63 FJD

The vehicle holds a current valid MOT following a clean pass in May 2026 at 17,715 miles. This result indicates stable roadworthiness after a period of maintenance intervention recorded twelve months prior. While the 2024 test flagged specific hydraulic issues, the absence of failures in the subsequent two annual tests suggests those components have been addressed or are currently functioning within legal limits. The immediate status is compliant, though the history warrants scrutiny of the braking system during a physical inspection. Recorded mileage sits at 17,715 miles against a thirteen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 1,363 miles annually. This low accumulation suggests light use or extended periods of storage rather than high-speed highway driving. However, the record shows a significant gap between the December 2021 test at 14,264 miles and the next entry in May 2024 at 15,263 miles. Such a three-year interval without documented testing raises questions about whether the vehicle remained off the road or if records were incomplete during that window. Despite the sparse data, the gradual mileage increase confirms the odometer has not rolled back since the last recorded entry. The 2024 inspection revealed concerning details regarding the braking circuit, specifically slight corrosion to the offside front brake hose ferrule and a sheared bleed nipple on the rear calliper. Although the vehicle subsequently passed without failure, a damaged bleed nipple compromises the ability to service the hydraulic system properly and may indicate past impact damage or poor maintenance practices. A prospective buyer should verify the integrity of all brake lines and confirm that the rear callipers move freely without seizing. Corrosion on hydraulic fittings often precedes sudden fluid loss, so checking for wetness around the suspension mounting points and under the wheel arches remains essential before purchase.
