2013 Aston Martin Virage 5.9L Petrol · LJ13 EXW

This Aston Martin Virage has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past three annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent examination conducted on 30 June 2025. The vehicle’s roadworthiness status remains stable, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection. The most recent test, at 27,654 miles, aligns with the previous cycle, suggesting the vehicle has not undergone any forced or emergency repairs between tests. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not guarantee hidden wear—particularly in high-value components such as the suspension geometry, drivetrain seals, or electrical systems, which are not routinely assessed in standard MOT tests. The recorded mileage of 27,654 miles over a 13-year span equates to approximately 2,127 miles per year, a figure significantly lower than the average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage increments between tests are consistent—1,233 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 1,452 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests—indicating minimal use over extended periods. While low mileage can reduce wear on consumables, it also raises questions about storage conditions, potential neglect, or extended periods of inactivity that may have contributed to issues like degraded fluids, seized components, or corrosion. The absence of any advisories in prior tests does not rule out deferred maintenance, particularly in areas not covered by MOT, such as the engine bay, underbody, or interior systems. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can degrade over time due to static loading or environmental exposure. The braking system, while not flagged in tests, warrants scrutiny for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common in high-performance vehicles with limited use. Underbody inspection is critical to assess for corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust development. Additionally, the electrical system, including the battery, wiring, and sensors, should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to parasitic drains or component failure. Fluid levels and condition—brake fluid, engine oil, coolant, and differential fluid—must also be verified, as stagnation can cause contamination or degradation.
