1989 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 5.3L Petrol · RWM 4

The 2026‑02‑12 MOT at 91,187 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. The consecutive passes from 2022 through 2026 indicate consistent upkeep. Mileage has risen only from 90,850 miles in July 2022 to 91,187 miles by February 2026, an increase of 337 miles over four years, averaging just 84 miles per year, which is far below the typical wear rate for a 37‑year‑old car. The intervals between tests are 62 miles (2022‑2023), 53 miles (2023‑2024), 53 miles (2024‑2025) and 92 miles (2025‑2026), suggesting the car has spent long periods stationary. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of seizing, inspect the rear brake calipers for binding and the condition of the brake discs, and look for structural rust on the chassis rails and wheel arches, all of which are common failure points on high‑age, low‑mileage vehicles. Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the low usage pattern means that components may have deteriorated through inactivity, so a thorough physical inspection is essential before purchase.
