The potential of buying a Pre-owned Aston Martin which has someone else’s deferred maintenance or a hidden problem (surprise), is unfortunately quite likely. A pre purchase inspection report will help identify which cars have those issues at point of purchase meaning you put a dream Aston Martin on your driveway instead of one which might need to be in the workshop being fixed, more than being in your own garage, when you first buy it.
But to perform that inspection thoroughly enough, it is time consuming and in effect, exactly the same inspection as what any car should have during each annual service.
With the option of organising professional logistics, a pre purchase Inspection at Bamford Rose is now easy and possible
In this video Mike explains that a basic safety check, equivalent to an MOT test, is not what is needed to properly understand the health status of the pre owned Aston Martin you are thinking of buying, and that the pre purchase inspection needed, is essentially the same inspection which would be done at each annual service.
For the Aston Martin DB7, Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, V8 Vantage, DB9, Rapide, DBS, V12Vantage, Aston Martin Virage and new Aston Martin Vanquish, Rapide S and V12VS models. If you are thinking of buying one, Don’ buy without a pre purchase inspection!
After digesting the information in this video, you will be able to make an informed decision which type of maintenance and repair options is the best suited to look after your Aston Martin.

OMG, that blue DB9 is stunning! Why are they all grey and black when they look so great in blue or red!?!

Dear Mike , it took me a minute to understand your style of delivery and humour.Brilliant video and solid advice.You either need a pre purchase inspection or X Ray vision.

@philipbarnard-brown5872 4 месяца назад

Thank you Bamford Rose for all the informative videos. I currently drive a Series1 E type and I am thinking about changing to An Aston Martin. In trying to make an informed decision on Which DB9 to go for I found your selves. Brilliant. You deserved much credit.

Excellent video. I bought a V8 manual Roadster a couple of years ago and crossed my fingers. I know quite a bit about cars but nothing about the idiosyncrasies of Astons, but I went with it because it was such a beautiful car (my first Aston) so it was truly bought with my heart, and less of my head. If I’d known it was only £350 for a pre-purchase inspection I’d have probably done it, especially as the transport is (now) easier to arrange, but I didn’t. Luckily there’s been nothing extraordinary go wrong apart from some of the known weak spots, and the ownership experience has been second to none. I use a local specialist because I’m not sure about franchise dealers, and the specialist feels like they really care about the cars, as does BR.

Great going into the 'unpacking' of a pre-purchasing inspection, and clearly explaining the benefits and ramifications of having one. Cheers Mike! 👍

Hi Mike, you have done some work on my car all good. I did buy my car about 4 years ago 2006 Vantage and luckily i have had no issues. I bought it without knowing anything about the potential issues and I think I was lucky that the owner was a genuine guy. I totally agree with you, for the money if you are buying any Aston you should get it inspected, it could save you thousands of pounds £££

@glennob7663 5 месяцев назад

I live a long way from any Aston specialist so it wasn’t really practical to organise a pre purchase inspection. However I’m an engineer and have restored classic cars. So with that knowledge and reading about Astons and watching your videos i was able to weed out the bad ones when looking for a 4.3 manual roadster. Bought privately I’ve had it 12 months now and it’s been a total pleasure. I diy service but will be bringing it to you for a twin plate clutch and sports cat/remap at some point in the future.

Invaluable advice!

@wizzwilson66 6 месяцев назад

Hi Mike, great and informative video once again. If, hypothetically, a car is sent to you for pre-inspection but the faults are so expensive that the purchase does not go ahead, would it be incumbent on the trader to tell the next propospective purchaser that a pre-inspection was done previously? I think we all know that the answer is no. But what about if that prospective buyer specifically asks the trader whether the car has been previously independently inspected?

Had to do an MOT on an MG maestro. Wouldn’t go over the jack on the 4 post!

I purchased my V8 Vantage from AM Edinburgh and they were great when a few issues arose. I would only purchase from AM main dealers. A few years ago there was a price difference between AM dealer and none franchise but not so much now. Great advice and £350 plus a bit ot transport cost is well it worth it👍👍

I'd love a DB9. The good ones seem to get sold really quickly.

@simonpj145 5 месяцев назад

I bought from a franchised dealer (2015 DB9.2) so relied on the Timeless warranty. Almost 2 years in and no issues but if I was doing it again I’d have brought it to you soon after purchase. I just had the 9th service and so far every service has been by franchised dealers but number 10 I’m considering bringing it to BM

Hi Mike, would there be a way for you to do a pre purchase inspection for a car in France ?

@godspeed6315 Месяц назад

Hi mate Iv been looking at Astons for a while now and have set my heart on the rapid S 2017 model but really how bad would one of them go ? It’s a relatively newish car and will be in low 20’s on MIlage . Can these cars be astronomical on hidden issues if any ? Thanks

@andrewsproson1410 15 дней назад

The most beautiful looking Aston could have had a low speed shunt and the wealthy owner could get repairs done under the radar at his local body shop.A pre purchase inspection would spot that.£350 is nothing for that service and amount of de risking.

@orchardbarn3061 6 месяцев назад

Great video again Mike, I certainly wish I’d had a pre-purchase inspection of my N400, as I’m sure you can imagine based on the extensive work you’ve had to do on it for me since!

@WeLikeGoPro 6 месяцев назад

Great video, thanks. Have you guys not considered branching out into sales? Seems a no brainier to me - I’d 100% buy a car from BR.

@autobahnproven 5 месяцев назад

If B.R. sold Astons, they'd be the most expensive up front and lowest cost long term propositions. Having said that, as they'd be an independent trader, who would then do your unbiased pre purchase inspection?

@paulmoor595 5 месяцев назад

While the advice here is very sound, the reality of the real world forces comes to play. I saw a lovely looking 4.3 vantage on a classic action site last week. By what you say, it should be 10 k less because of the risk of sight unseen. However market forces dictated it sold for 28k...about 4k under average value for this particular car. No one is going to ever buy an Aston 10k under book!... again the 25k aston you talk about needing 10k of work...no one will ever sell you a V8 Vantage for 15k...as there will be a queue of buyers willing to pay 22k or thereabouts...PPI is great... but in some cases...buyer pays for it...gets a bad report...loses sale...and the car gets sold on to someone else. The market will always dictate the price

@Sean-vh8pm 6 месяцев назад

I'd love to use the pre-purchase service, but it's not practical to get the vehicle to your garage. If you had some sort of mobile service, I'd certainly be using that so let me know when available.

@russellhowell-py4qd 5 месяцев назад

Mike has said in previous videos, for the same reasons they don't do ppi at other garages, that they won't do them mobile either

@Sean-vh8pm 5 месяцев назад

@@russellhowell-py4qdI have to disagree with Mike on this. Shipping a car to another garage you’ve not paid for to be inspected is odd. I can see why a seller wouldn’t want to do this. This especially true the further away from BR, such as the North England or Scotland where I am. Even if I knew my car was 100% sound and confident of no issues, I wouldn’t be sending anywhere. As an aside, I’ve just had my car inspected by a very reputable EV servicing company who have a mobile service. A full comprehensive list of checks were carried out, so I see no reason why BR can’t do the same.

Talks themselves into a prison cell...no reference to a Scottish branded Aston specialist, I am sure I must have got the wrong end of the caber toss 😅😅😅in rural midlands..I went with franchised Dealership last time for a Mercedes era 2021 Vantage which honestly is excellent, but I am looking for a 2015 plus Haptic Vantage V12 from Dealership network to keep longtime to pass on to my children as a reminder of petrol era greatnesses... oh comment at start was without prejudice ❤

@jwright9639 2 месяца назад

No, actually I didn't like it one bit. In fact, it made me cry. Becoming a future owner of a borderline super car has responsibilities that I am not sure I'm prepared for. It could prove to be waaay beyond the level of honorable ownership this car deserves. I was a deferred owner of a Maserati BiTurbo that was essentially driven into the ground until it was.. well... ya know stolen. I really want this car but I see the consequences if it is not properly cared for... and of course due diligence exercised prior to a purchase. I'm so stressed. This is supposed to be fun.
