2010 Aston Martin DBS 5.9L Petrol · CT60 YHY

The 2010 Aston Martin DBS presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 November 2025 at 30,062 miles, resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This follows a pattern of consistent passes stretching back to October 2022. The only blemish in the record is a minor failure on the same day in November 2025 for non-functioning side repeaters on both sides, a trivial electrical fault that was clearly rectified before the retest passed hours later. There are no recurring mechanical or structural advisories, and the trend is firmly stable with no evidence of deterioration. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. Between the October 2022 test at 29,058 miles and the November 2025 test at 30,062 miles, the car covered just 1,004 miles over a three-year span. That equates to roughly 335 miles per year in the most recent period, well below the already low lifetime average of approximately 1,879 miles per year. The gap between the 2023 test at 29,398 miles and the 2024 test at 29,998 miles shows a modest 600-mile increase, consistent with occasional weekend or seasonal use rather than daily commuting. No rapid accumulation or suspicious mileage gaps appear in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on components that deteriorate with age and low use rather than mileage. Long periods of standing can cause tyre sidewall cracking, flat-spotted brake discs, and seized calipers, so check the tyre date codes and look for surface corrosion on the braking surfaces even though no brake defects were flagged. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and jacking points, as low-mileage cars stored for extended periods can still develop surface rust in vulnerable areas. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers deserve close attention given the car's performance specification and age. The minor side repeater failure suggests checking all exterior lighting and wiring connectors for moisture ingress or corroded terminals, a common issue on older vehicles with infrequent use.
