2018 Aston Martin DB11 4.0L Petrol · XW11 EAT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in June 2025, but you should note that this certificate is due to expire in just a few days. With roughly 27,375 miles recorded over eight years, this car averages a very low 3,400 miles annually. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely spent significant time standing still, which often causes rubber components to degrade from age rather than wear from driving. The MOT history highlights a clear pattern of tyre deterioration. In 2024, both front tyres were flagged for slight damage, cracking, or perishing, which confirms the rubber is suffering from age. In 2025, the car initially failed due to a nail in the nearside front tyre and non-conforming number plates, though it passed the following day. The overall mechanical trend appears stable, with no failures related to the engine, brakes, or suspension in the provided history. However, the condition of the tyres is a worsening issue, as the cracking noted previously indicates they are becoming unsafe regardless of tread depth. When inspecting the car, you should prioritize a close examination of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and check the manufacture date to ensure they are not too old. You should also verify the condition of the rear seat belts, as the tester noted in 2025 that a child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult belt.
