ASTON MARTIN DBS2011 · 5.9L PETROL

This 2011 Aston Martin DBS has covered only 17,401 miles in roughly 15 years, averaging around 1,160 miles per year. That exceptionally low mileage suggests the car has spent significant time in storage or been driven very sparingly, which carries its own risks: seals can harden, fuel systems can gum up, and brake fluid can absorb moisture over extended idle periods. The most recent MOT in August 2025 revealed three issues. The nearside front tyre has a minor cut to the outer sidewall that has not yet penetrated the ply or cords, but this is a safety concern that will worsen with use and should be addressed before purchase. More significantly, the exhaust system has developed a minor leak at the centre section joint, indicating corrosion or seal degradation. Both covers and undertray panels are fitted, which obscures some testable components and makes it harder to assess the true condition of the underbody and engine bay. Looking at the broader history, the vehicle passed without defects in 2024, 2023, and 2022. The pattern is not one of rapid deterioration, but the emergence of the tyre cut and exhaust leak in the most recent test suggests that age-related wear is beginning to show. The exhaust leak is the more pressing mechanical concern, as it indicates corrosion is active and may spread to other joints or sections if left unaddressed. The very low mileage is a double-edged factor.
