2009 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · LJ09 CVX

This Aston Martin Vantage presents a largely clean history with a recent shift toward minor age-related wear. The vehicle passed its MOT just last month, but the latest entry flags a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge. This is the first significant mechanical advisory in several years, following a seat belt webbing issue noted in 2025. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,250 miles annually. While this suggests light use, it also implies the car may have spent long periods stationary. Low usage often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluids through age rather than friction. The tyre wear on the edge specifically warrants attention, as it can indicate alignment issues or suspension geometry drift, potentially exacerbated by the car sitting unevenly. The overall condition trend appears stable but moving into a phase where perishable parts are failing due to age. The history is mostly clean, with no major structural or engine defects recorded. However, the recent advisories suggest the car is no longer immune to the wear of time.
