2015 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · OS 5115

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 22 May 2026 at 36,604 miles, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of deferred attention to aging hardware components. While the most recent test indicates a pass, it followed a failure just nine days prior due to multiple defects including perished brake components, thin pads, and corroded springs. The recurring nature of corrosion on brake lines and suspension elements suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered only 1,325 miles in a year. This low-frequency use correlates with the degradation seen in rubber-based components. The record repeatedly flags perishing and cracking tyres across multiple years, which is a classic symptom of a vehicle sitting for long periods without movement despite the low mechanical wear. A physical inspection must focus on the integrity of the braking system and suspension geometry. The history consistently flags the offside front brake pipe and nearside front brake hose for corrosion, alongside the presence of grease which often indicates an attempt to hide rust from the tester. The rear coil springs have been noted as corroded since 2025 and were flagged again in 2026; these should be checked for structural fractures or thinning metal that could compromise safety. The buyer should also verify the age and condition of all tyres, regardless of tread depth, as the record confirms a history of dry rot due to age.
