2012 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · TM02 AMV

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status, evidenced by a string of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 24,768 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have consistently met DVSA standards without the recurring failures often seen in high-performance vehicles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,769 miles per year. Between May 2021 and June 2025, the car covered only 3,700 miles, showing a consistent usage rate of roughly 800 to 900 miles annually. This low usage suggests the car has been used sparingly or kept stationary for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking system, it introduces specific risks related to fluid degradation and dry seals due to lack of operation. Because the MOT history shows no mechanical faults, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer should scrutinize rubber elements, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which perish over time regardless of distance driven. The inspector should also check for brake caliper seizing or corrosion on the brake discs resulting from infrequent use. Additionally, the condition of the engine oil and fluids should be verified, as the MOT record does not account for the chemical breakdown of lubricants that occurs during long intervals of standing.
