2013 Aston Martin Vanquish 5.9L Petrol · V100 ATW

The 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 22 May 2026 at 35,794 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the 2022 and 2024 tests, which flagged corrosion-related braking issues. The most recent two consecutive passes, including the current one, suggest the previous owner has addressed the earlier deterioration and the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,753 miles per year. The record shows a steady but gradual accumulation, moving from 31,415 miles in November 2022 to 35,794 miles by May 2026, a span of roughly three and a half years covering around 4,379 miles. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, indicating consistent, light use rather than long periods of total inactivity, though the mileage is low enough that age-related deterioration of rubber and corrosion-prone components remains a relevant concern. Despite the clean recent history, the 2022 and 2024 advisories warrant a focused physical inspection. The tester flagged corroded front brake pipes and handbrake cables in 2022, followed by corroded front brake hose ferrules in 2024. A buyer should verify the current condition of all brake lines, ferrules, and the handbrake cable routing for any residual corrosion or chafing, particularly where lines pass through the subframe or wheel arches. The 2022 test also noted both rear tyres worn to the legal limit and scalloped edges, a pattern often linked to degraded suspension bushes or worn dampers. Inspect the rear suspension bushes, drop links, and shock absorbers for play, and check the inner edges of all four tyres for uneven wear that could indicate tracking or geometry issues.
