2006 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · NL06 AMO

The 2006 Aston Martin DB9 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with all six MOT tests from 2020 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent October 2025 test at 15,741 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance pattern. No recurring issues or advisories were flagged across the 13-year history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-preserved. The absence of mechanical failures or safety-critical faults indicates the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the low mileage raises questions about long-term component integrity. The vehicle’s 15,741-mile total, averaging 787 miles annually, is exceptionally low for its age, implying infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. MOT records show gradual mileage increases, with the 2020 test at 14,721 miles followed by incremental growth to 15,741 miles. Gaps between tests, such as the 18-month interval between 2022 and 2023, suggest the car may have been stored for extended periods. This usage pattern could lead to issues like brake disc corrosion, suspension bush stiffness, or fluid degradation, even if not detected in MOTs. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of inactivity-related wear, including dry rot on tyres, seized suspension components, and exhaust system corrosion. The low mileage may mask hidden issues in drivetrain components or electrical systems due to lack of use. While the MOT history shows no structural faults, the absence of recent tests beyond 2025 means the current condition remains unverified. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on fluid levels, brake functionality, and suspension movement to confirm the car’s mechanical health.
