ASTON MARTIN DBS2008 · 5.9L PETROL

This 2008 Aston Martin DBS passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 with no defects recorded and no advisories noted. The pass came at 22,238 miles, representing a gain of just 2,804 miles over the past year—a very modest annual mileage by any standard. The five-year MOT record is notably clean across the board. Every test from October 2021 through November 2025 has resulted in a pass with no defects logged. This consistency suggests either very careful ownership and maintenance, or that the vehicle spends considerable time off the road and therefore sees minimal exposure to wear and corrosion. Over that five-year span, the odometer has advanced only 4,333 miles, or roughly 867 miles per year on average. At 18 years old with just 22,238 recorded miles, this car's mileage-to-age ratio raises a critical concern: extended periods of inactivity. Low mileage can be a positive indicator, but it can also signal that the vehicle has sat stationary for long stretches. Stationary storage presents its own set of risks—fuel system degradation, brake fluid moisture absorption, battery discharge cycles, and corrosion of seals and internal engine components are all accelerated by lack of use. Rubber hoses, gaskets, and belts can harden and crack when unused.
