ASTON MARTIN DBS2012 · 5.9L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 15 September 2025. The maintenance trend is stable, with the last three annual tests yielding no defects or advisories. The absence of recurring failures indicates consistent, adequate upkeep of the car's core mechanical systems. At 14 years of age, the recorded 29,545 miles represent exceptionally low annual use of roughly 2,110 miles. The odometer readings show a steady, modest increase: 24,215 miles in March 2021, 24,360 in May 2022, 26,613 in May 2023, 28,664 in August 2024, and 29,545 in September 2025. While such low mileage often correlates with reduced wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension, it also suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary. Prolonged inactivity can lead to issues such as dried rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, or battery degradation, which do not always surface during a standard MOT. The MOT record flags a minor advisory in May 2022 regarding the ABS warning light, which was not repeated in subsequent tests, implying the fault was resolved. A March 2021 entry notes that wheel covers prevented a full inspection; the clean results since then confirm the brakes and suspension were subsequently accessible and in good order. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components vulnerable to long-term storage. Check all rubber suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and brake hoses for dry rot or cracking. Verify tyre manufacture dates and tread condition, as rubber degrades regardless of mileage. Test the ABS and stability control systems by driving the car, and examine the underbody and sills for any corrosion, which remains a potential risk for a vehicle of this vintage.
