2009 Aston Martin DBS 5.9L Petrol · 8 NAW

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 17 March 2026 at 14,731 miles which carried no recorded defects. This represents an improvement over previous years where specific consumable issues were identified. The current trend suggests that the mechanical concerns flagged in the past have been addressed, resulting in a clean sheet for the latest inspection cycle. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 867 miles per year. Between February 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 315 miles, moving from 14,416 to 14,731 miles. This minimal usage indicates the car likely sits stationary for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and fluids which fail by age rather than mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a recurring failure for cracking and perishing on the rear tyres spanning from 2022, 2023, and 2024. While these defects were cleared by the 2025 and 2026 tests, the history confirms the rubber is prone to age-related decay. Inspection should also focus on suspension bushes, brake seals, and brake discs, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion and seized calipers when not driven regularly enough to clear away oxidation.
