Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle at all costs. The lac

This vehicle presents a number of critical risks. First, the absence of any MOT history means you cannot confirm whether the car has passed safety checks or if it has any undetected faults. If the registration is genuinely recent, the seller may not have provided the required paperwork, which is a legal requirement for selling a vehicle in the UK. Always insist on seeing the vehicle’s V5C logbook, a copy of the MOT certificate, and proof of insurance before proceeding. If the seller refuses, this is a clear warning sign.

As for maintenance, since the car has no prior service history, you’ll need to budget for immediate checks. A thorough inspection should include the engine, suspension, brakes, and electrical systems—all common areas for high-end cars to develop issues over time. Given the car’s recent registration, you might also want to check if it’s covered under a manufacturer’s warranty, though this would depend on the seller’s circumstances and the specific terms of the sale. If the car is new to the market, it could be a target for scams, so proceed with extreme caution.

The DB12 V8 Auto’s running costs are likely to be among the highest for this model due to its powerful engine and premium materials. The car’s Euro 6 AP petrol engine is efficient for its class, but expect to spend around £1.20–£1.40 per mile in fuel costs, assuming an average consumption of 15–16mpg. Annual tax will be £180–£200, depending on the exact emissions classification, which aligns with the Euro 6 AP standard.

Insurance costs will also be steep, typically placing the car in the highest insurance group (Group 1) for its class. This could mean premiums of £1,200–£1,800 annually, depending on the buyer’s profile and additional factors like driver age or postcode. Maintenance costs for a high-performance car like this are likely to be high, with potential expenses for the engine, transmission, and luxury features. Annual maintenance could run from £500–£1,200, depending on wear and tear. Combining these factors, the estimated annual running cost for this vehicle could be £2,500–£4,000, far above the average for a similar car.

Given the car’s lack of MOT history and recent registration, you should conduct a thorough inspection before purchasing. First, verify that the vehicle’s registration paperwork is complete and correct, including the V5C logbook, MOT certificate, and insurance details. If the MOT is missing, demand that the seller provides a temporary MOT certificate or a written guarantee that the car will pass its next test.

Focus on the engine, as the 3.9-litre V8 is a high-performance unit that can develop issues over time, particularly in the exhaust system or fuel delivery. Inspect the suspension, brakes, and electrical systems for signs of wear or damage. Since the car has no prior service history, you should also check for any signs of improper maintenance, such as oil leaks or unusual noises. If the seller is unwilling to provide a service history or is vague about the car’s condition, this is a strong indicator that something is amiss.

The DB12 V8 Auto in silver, registered in December 2025, has no recorded MOT history, making it impossible to assess its true condition. Its 3.9-litre Euro 6 AP petrol engine is a high-performance variant, but the car’s registration date is unusually recent for a vehicle to be sold in the UK market. The average annual mileage for this model is 3,116 miles, but without any prior testing or service records, there’s no way to verify if this car has been properly maintained or if it’s even fit for road use.

The DB12 V8 Auto is a relatively new model, and aggregate MOT data for this specific variant is limited. However, high-performance cars like this are known for their complexity and potential for expensive repairs, particularly in the engine and transmission systems. The lack of prior MOT history for this car means it falls outside the average reliability profile for this model, which is already considered high-risk for buyers due to its performance and cost.
