ASTON MARTIN DBS2012 · 5.9L Petrol

The 2012 Aston Martin DBS presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 8,440 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean run across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring faults; every completed examination from 2022 onward passed without advisories. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 7,508 miles at the 29 April 2022 test, rising to 7,990 miles on 22 May 2023, 8,260 miles on 22 April 2024, and 8,440 miles on 2 May 2025. That equates to roughly 600 miles per year. The sparse, clean entries suggest long periods of storage rather than active daily use, with no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps between tests. A failed test on 22 May 2023 at 7,970 miles carries no recorded defects, with the same-day pass at 7,990 miles indicating an administrative or measurement discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the chain. The owner clearly kept the car to a minimal-use schedule with basic statutory compliance. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and perishable components before purchase. Low mileage combined with standing time accelerates tyre sidewall cracking, fluid degradation, and seized calipers that a pass with no defects will not capture. Verify underbody condition, brake binding after storage, and the age of rubber bushings given the car's limited movement since 2022.
