Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for collect
When considering this DBS, your primary focus should be on verifying a comprehensive service history. While the MOT history is clean, the MOT test only covers specific safety and environmental standards; it does not confirm that the vehicle has received the specialist mechanical maintenance required for a 5.2L V12 engine.
Negotiate based on the documented service intervals. Given the low mileage, ensure that any scheduled maintenance that is time-based rather than mileage-based has been completed. Check for any signs of tyre degradation or uneven wear, as low-mileage high-performance cars can sometimes suffer from flat-spotting or age-related rubber hardening.
Running costs for this vehicle will be substantially higher than a standard passenger car. With a 5,204cc petrol engine, fuel economy will be a significant factor in your daily budget, alongside high insurance groups typical for a high-performance grand tourer.
Maintenance costs are expected to be premium, reflecting the specialized nature of Aston Martin components. While the MOT history shows no current defects, you should budget for high-cost items such as performance tyres and brake components, which are common maintenance areas for this model.
Inspect the exterior finish and wheels carefully; while no MOT failures were recorded, high-performance vehicles are susceptible to kerbing and stone chips. Pay close attention to the tyre condition, as 'tyre' is a top failure reason for this model aggregate.
Check all lighting systems, specifically the headlamps, as 'headlamp' issues are a frequent cause of failure in the wider DBS data set. Additionally, ensure all electronic displays and engine warning lights are functioning correctly, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a noted failure reason for this model type.
This 2021 Aston Martin DBS, finished in black, presents with exceptionally low mileage of just 12,475 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. The vehicle has undergone two MOT tests so far, both resulting in passes with no recorded defects. Compared to the model aggregate average annual mileage of 1,708 miles, this vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example in our database.
The DBS model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 94.9% across 1,955 analysed vehicles, though common failures include headlamps and tyres.
