2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 4.7L Petrol · SN60 BXP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding surface corrosion and component degradation. While it passed the November 2025 test at 43,988 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were not present in the previous two years. Specifically, all four anti-roll bar linkages and the rear sub-frame now show signs of corrosion. The appearance of thin rear brake pads and corroded rear brake hoses suggests that the vehicle is beginning to require more proactive attention despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,750 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-interval usage, moving from 33,574 miles in November 2021 to 43,988 miles in late 2025. However, this inactivity often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components. This is evidenced by the 2021 record flagging tyres as perished and worn to the edges, indicating that the car likely sits for long periods rather than accumulating mileage through mechanical use. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and structural integrity. The 2022 test noted extensive corrosion across all front brake pipes, and the 2025 test identified corrosion on the rear hose ferrule. The buyer should verify that the corrosion on the rear sub-frame is merely surface-level and has not progressed into structural thinning. Furthermore, the four anti-roll bar linkages should be checked for play, as the reported corrosion reported by the tester indicates a future failure point if not replaced.
