Our Verdict

This 2012 Aston Martin DBS is a strong buy for a collector or enthusiast, with an unbroken MOT pass record and exceptionally low mileage for its age. Just be aware that no aggregate model reliability data is available, so condition depends heavily on this individual car's history.

Given the low mileage and clean MOT record, focus your negotiations on provenance and service history rather than outstanding defects. A 2012 DBS with only 8,582 miles should have a full Aston Martin main dealer or specialist service record to justify its value and confirm the V12 has been exercised periodically to avoid storage-related issues. Ask for evidence of cambelt or recommended interval work, as low-use exotic cars can suffer from perished seals and flat spots if not maintained correctly.
