Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Aston Martin Virage Owners

These checks follow this Aston Martin Virage's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Aston Martin Virage.

• the lights — “malfunction indicator lamp inoperative or indicates a malfunction”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

• tyre pressures and valves — “tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative”

  Set the pressures to the figures on the door pillar, not the tyre wall, and check the valves do not hiss. A leaking valve is a two-minute fix that fails a test.

• the tyre tread — “tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm”

  Check all four tyres cold, including the inner shoulder where wear hides — 1.6mm across the central three-quarters is the legal limit, and most testers fail at 1.6mm without argument.
