Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence given the exceptionally low mileage and clean MOT history. This 2015 Blue DB9 appears to have been used very sparingly, presenting a rare opportunity for a low-mileage example.
When purchasing a high-performance vehicle with such low mileage, your primary focus should be on whether the car has been maintained according to its service schedule rather than just its MOT history. Because it has covered so few miles, ensure that oil changes and fluid replacements have been carried out based on time intervals (annually) rather than just mileage.
Negotiate based on the evidence of a documented service history. For a 5.9L V12 engine, verifying that the cooling system and seals have been inspected is vital, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation that doesn't always trigger an MOT failure. Ask for proof of any recent specialist inspections.
Running costs for this 5935cc petrol model will be substantial. Expect high insurance groups and significant fuel consumption typical of a large-displacement grand tourer. Tax bands for this engine size are also at the higher end of the scale.
Maintenance costs are expected to be high; while the MOT history is clean, any mechanical repairs or parts for this model will command a premium. An estimated annual budget should account for high-cost specialist servicing and the premium fuel required for optimal performance.
While this vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, you should be aware that aggregate data for this model shows common failure points include headlamps, brake pads, and engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issues. Inspect the headlamp clarity and functionality, as these are known failure points in the wider fleet.
Given the extremely low mileage of 3,522, check the condition of tyres and rubber components. Tyres can age and perish even if they have plenty of tread, and seals may dry out due to infrequent use. Ensure the braking system is free from corrosion, which can occur on vehicles that are not driven regularly.
This 2015 Aston Martin DB9, finished in blue, shows extremely low usage with only 3,522 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in March 2026. The MOT history is entirely clean, with no recorded defects or advisories across four consecutive tests dating back to 2022. Given the model's average annual mileage of 1,370, this specific vehicle sits well below the typical usage pattern for this engine variant.
The DB9 shows a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 92.2% across the 5,027 vehicles analysed.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: ASTON MARTIN DB9
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- V12 Timing Cover Oil Leaks(Moderate)
Like the V8, the V12 is prone to weeping oil from the front cover. On the V12, this often requires the entire front end of the car to be dismantled.
- V12 Coil Pack & Spark Plug Failure(Moderate)
Heat soak in the V12 "valley" kills coil packs. Replacement requires removing both intake manifolds, making it a very expensive labor-heavy job.
