2009 Aston Martin V8 Auto 4.3L Petrol · V3 CAY

The most recent MOT on 18 May 2026 was a clean pass at 30,325 miles – no advisory or failure notes were recorded. This is the fourth consecutive MOT (2024‑11‑26, 2024‑04‑25, 2023‑03‑07 and 2022‑03‑23) that also passed with no defects, showing a consistent pattern of no recorded faults over the last four years. Because every test has reported “no defects”, the vehicle’s condition trend appears stable rather than worsening. There is no evidence of emerging safety or major mechanical issues in the MOT data, and the mileage increments between tests (roughly 500‑1,000 miles per year) are modest. At 30,325 miles for a 2009 model, the car has averaged about 1,800 miles per year – a very low figure for a 17‑year‑old sports car. Such low usage can mean reduced wear on consumables, but it may also indicate long periods of inactivity, which can lead to ageing of rubber seals, tyres and suspension bushings. The mileage figure alone does not tell whether the car has been gently driven or largely stored, so the implication for wear is ambiguous. For a buyer, the first checks should be: - Verify a full service history and any recent major maintenance (oil changes, timing belt/chain, coolant flushes). - Inspect the condition of the tyres, belts, hoses and suspension bushings for signs of cracking or hardening that can develop during long storage. - Examine the brakes (pads, discs, fluid) for wear, even though no MOT advisories were recorded.
