ASTON MARTIN DBS2011 · 5.9L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 6 May 2026 was a clean pass at 22,634 miles, with no recorded defects. The previous four tests (2025‑04‑28, 2024‑01‑08, 2022‑04‑05 and 2021‑04‑06) were also passes and likewise showed no faults. This consistent record indicates that, at least according to the official MOT checks, the car has not presented any safety‑related problems over the last five years. The pattern across the MOTs is therefore stable – there is no evidence of a worsening defect trend, nor of emerging issues that have been flagged but not yet repaired. The mileage progression is modest: the vehicle has added roughly 1,500 miles per year, which is very low for a 2011 model. Such low usage can mean reduced wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension components, but it can also suggest long periods of inactivity. Prolonged standing can allow seals, gaskets and rubber components to dry out, potentially leading to leaks or cracks that an MOT may not catch until they become pronounced. Because the mileage signal is ambiguous – low mileage could be a sign of gentle use or of extended storage – a buyer should treat the car as potentially under‑used rather than fully “new”. The most serious risks on a high‑performance Aston Martin are typically related to the braking system, suspension bushings, and fluid integrity (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid). Even though the MOTs have not flagged any defects, these areas merit a hands‑on inspection.
