1959 Aston Martin DBMK111 2.9L Petrol · 1602 PO

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at the most recent inspection on 12 February 2024 at 97,500 miles. No defects were recorded during this test, nor in any of the preceding four MOTs. This consistent record indicates a well-maintained classic that has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The trend is entirely stable, showing no signs of worsening or neglect over the recorded period. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 1,455 miles annually over its 67-year lifespan. Between the 2018 test at 94,860 miles and the 2024 test at 97,500 miles, the car covered just 2,640 miles across six years. A notable gap exists between the February 2022 test at 95,680 miles and the September 2020 test at 95,448 miles, where only 232 miles were added over roughly eighteen months. The data is remarkably clean, reflecting light, sporadic use rather than high-mileage wear, though prolonged stationary periods demand scrutiny of perishable components. Despite the flawless MOT record, the absence of recorded defects does not negate the need for a thorough in-person inspection, particularly given the car's age and low mileage. Buyers must examine the structural integrity of the chassis and bulkhead for latent corrosion, a common affliction in vehicles that have stood idle. The braking system requires close scrutiny; calipers can seize and brake discs can corrode from lack of use, even if they passed a recent test. Suspension bushes and dampers will have aged regardless of mileage, and a physical check for perished rubber and fluid leaks is essential. Tyres must be inspected for date codes and sidewall cracking, as tread depth alone does not reveal the deterioration caused by standing stationary for extended periods.
