2016 Aston Martin Vantage 5.9L Petrol · SP12 AML

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 May 2025 at 10,146 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2021, indicating a car that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,015 miles per year. Between the April 2022 test at 9,724 miles and the May 2025 test at 10,146 miles, the car covered only 422 miles over three years. This pattern confirms the vehicle has spent significant periods standing, which is typical for a collector car but introduces specific mechanical risks. A buyer must prioritise the inspection of rubber components and fluids due to this prolonged inactivity. While the MOT record shows no failures, the low usage suggests that tyres and wiper blades may have aged and hardened despite having plenty of tread. Brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, and brake calipers should be tested for seizing or binding, as these components often degrade when not exercised regularly. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes or structural corrosion is positive. However, the lack of mileage means the engine and drivetrain have not been heat cycled frequently. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the battery and the presence of any perished seals or leaks that can develop when a vehicle remains stationary for years.
