2012 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · XN07 SAX

The vehicle currently holds a good roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in April 2026 at 38,371 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only recorded failure in the last three years was isolated and immediately rectified. Since that incident, the car has passed inspections without defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets the minimum safety requirements for road use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,741 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 27,633 miles and April 2026 at 38,371 miles, the car covered a relatively modest distance of distance annually. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such low-frequency operation can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and the stilling of fluids or seals, which the MOT test does not fully detect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, given the fractured offside front coil spring noted in April 2025. While the fault was resolved, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished suspension bushes and shock absorbers due to age rather than mechanical wear. It is also vital to inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as cars that sit for long periods frequently develop surface rust on the braking system. The structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for corrosion to ensure that long periods of storage have not affected the metalwork.
