2014 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · N24 YEH

This Aston Martin Vantage has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four annual tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between July 2022 and July 2025. The most recent test, on 14 July 2025 at 61,336 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now approaching the 12-month threshold before its next mandatory inspection. The absence of recurring issues suggests the car has been subjected to either diligent servicing or minimal stress, though this does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components typical of a supercar—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers—which are not always captured in a standard MOT. The recorded mileage of 61,336 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 5,100 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this class and age. The gaps between tests are consistent at roughly 4,000 miles per year, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate neglect or storage-related degradation. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and clutch components, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven under conditions that stress critical systems—such as high-speed stability, thermal management of the engine, or suspension articulation. The lack of advisories in prior tests does not rule out latent issues in areas like exhaust emissions (which could fluctuate with driving habits) or structural corrosion, particularly in high-stress zones like wheel arches or subframes. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity, focusing on the condition of rear coil springs, front and rear bushes, and potential binding in calipers or steering linkages. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee these components have been maintained, especially in a vehicle prone to alignment drift and thermal expansion. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly flagged, warrant scrutiny given the car’s performance-oriented nature—look for uneven wear patterns or excessive heat discolouration. Additionally, inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and wheel housings, as even low-mileage supercars can suffer from environmental degradation over time. A thorough check of fluid levels (brake, clutch, differential) and service records (if available) would further clarify whether the vehicle has been cared for beyond the MOT’s scope.
