ASTON MARTIN DB92009 · 5.9L PETROL

The 2009 Aston Martin DB9 has a mixed MOT history, with recent issues emerging despite a previously clean record. The most recent MOT on 2025-08-15 shows both a passed and failed result for the same date, indicating unresolved defects. The passed test lists minor issues: headlamp lenses slightly defective, rear tyres slightly cracked, front brake discs worn but not seriously weakened, and electrical wiring inadequately secured. The failed test on the same day adds non-working front position lamps to the list, suggesting persistent or unaddressed problems. Recurring defects include headlamp lens issues , tyre perishing , and brake disc wear , all of which are categorized as "minor" but could indicate aging components. The brake discs show consistent wear (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) across both tests, while the tyres’ cracking (5.2.3 (d) (ii)) suggests potential neglect or prolonged inactivity. The electrical wiring defect (4.11 (a) (i)) relates to the brake pad wear wire, a safety-critical component that requires attention. The trend shows a worsening condition since 2022, when the vehicle had no recorded defects. The 2025 failures contrast sharply with the clean 2024 and 2023 MOTs, implying a recent decline. However, the vehicle’s low mileage (27,368 miles over 17 years, ~1,610 miles annually) complicates interpretation.
