2006 Aston Martin Vantage 4.3L Petrol · NK56 CEV

The most recent MOT test on 9 July 2025 was a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the history to 2020, every test has resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories noted. This indicates a stable mechanical condition with no evidence of worsening issues or recurring failures in the provided data. The vehicle has covered approximately 26,000 miles in 20 years, averaging just over 1,300 miles per year. This is exceptionally low usage for a car of this age. While this suggests the engine and drivetrain have experienced minimal mechanical stress, such low mileage often leads to deterioration through inactivity rather than wear. The main concern with a car used this infrequently is the degradation of perishable components. Rubber parts such as suspension bushes, coolant hoses, and tires can deteriorate or crack with age regardless of how few miles are driven. Fluids like oil, brake fluid, and coolant can also degrade over time even if the car is not being driven regularly. You should prioritize checking the condition of all rubber components for signs of perishing or dry rot.
