2021 Aston Martin Vantage 4.0L Petrol · NE11 LRZ

This 2021 Aston Martin Vantage presents an exceptionally clean DVSA roadworthiness record, with only two MOT tests on file and both resulting in passes accompanied by minor advisories. The most recent test on 2026-04-15 was passed with two advisory notices limited to the rear tyres, both measured at a remaining tread depth of 2.0mm, sitting at the legal minimum threshold. The previous test on 2025-04-24 was passed with no defects or advisories recorded at all. The overall trend demonstrates stable and consistently high roadworthiness, with no recurring component failures, structural corrosion, brake system defects, or suspension concerns appearing across the recorded history. The only flagged items are tyre-related, which is expected behaviour for a performance-oriented vehicle regardless of mileage. With just 19,760 miles accumulated over approximately five years, this Vantage has covered roughly 3,952 miles per year on average, a notably low annual figure for any modern vehicle, let alone a sports car of this calibre. The mileage progression between the two recorded tests shows an accumulation of approximately the expected proportion of miles across the interval, indicating the car has been used consistently rather than left dormant for extended periods. Low annual mileage on a performance vehicle typically results in reduced wear to consumables such as brake discs and pads, clutch friction material, and drivetrain components, but it can conversely place additional stress on items that degrade through disuse. Seals, gaskets, and flexible components such as suspension bushes, anti-roll bar linkages, and engine mountings can suffer from perishing or drying out when a vehicle sees limited road use, and any standing periods should be factored into pre-purchase scrutiny. For a prospective buyer, the rear tyre advisories on the most recent test should be treated as an immediate rectification item rather than a cause for alarm, given that 2.0mm tread is the absolute legal floor and offers minimal reserves for any subsequent mileage. On inspection, verify that replacement tyres of correct specification, load rating, and speed rating have been fitted, as Aston Martin fitments typically demand premium manufacturer approval for optimal performance and safety. During a test drive, pay particular attention to any knocking or clonking noises from the rear suspension over uneven surfaces, which could indicate perished bushes or worn linkages resulting from the low-use pattern. Listen for any clonking from the front axle too, and feel for vagueness or wandering in the steering that might suggest worn tie rods or track rod ends. Given the modest mileage, a thorough inspection should also focus on items that deteriorate through age rather than use. Examine the underbody, sills, and suspension subframes for any surface corrosion, particularly around mounting points and brake pipe runs, as low-mileage examples stored outdoors or in humid conditions can still develop oxidation issues. Check the condition of all flexible brake hoses for any cracking or weathering, and inspect the brake discs for any surface rust pitting or lipping that might suggest prolonged standing followed by brief use. Verify that the battery is a recent fitment, as low-output mileage combined with parasitic drain can prematurely age 12V units, and confirm there are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. A compression test or specialist diagnostic scan via the manufacturer would be prudent to confirm internal engine health, as low-mileage performance engines that have been started only occasionally can develop issues not visible through standard MOT scrutiny.
