2019 Aston Martin Vantage 4.0L Petrol · RO66 ANY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the first sign of developing mechanical wear. In the most recent test on June 2026 at 18,989 miles, the tester identified a severely deteriorated offside-front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. This marks a departure from the previous three years of testing where 2023, 2024, and 2025 returned no recorded defects whatsoever. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between July 2023 at 9,340 miles and June 2026 at 18,989 miles, the car covered only 9,649 miles over three years. This consistent low-usage suggests minimal stress on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and the drying of seals, which likely explains the recent failure of the anti-roll bar dust cover despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension to ensure that the deteriorated dust cover has not allowed moisture to ingress into the ball joint itself, which would lead to premature joint failure. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as these frequently occur when vehicles sit for long periods. The clean history up to 2025 is encouraging, but the recent failure indicates that age-related rubber perish is now beginning to require attention regardless of the distance driven.
