2010 Aston Martin Vantage 5.9L Petrol · VH02 AML

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of passes without defects. The most recent test conducted on 8 April 2025 at 16,204 miles resulted in no recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. Between July 2020 and April 2025, the car covered only 2,284 miles, moving from 13,920 to 16,204 miles. This low usage rate implies minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, the long intervals between active use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid properties that are not necessarily captured by mileage-based wear. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by age and periods of standing. A buyer should check for perished rubber in suspension bushes, dry seals, and brake fluid ingress which can occur despite low mileage. The structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for surface corrosion, as the tester only inspects areas accessible during the test. Additionally, the age of the tyres should be checked for cracking or spotting, as low tread depth often masks the hardening of the rubber compound over time.
