Known faults for Aston Martin Aston Martin DB9
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, provided a thor
While the MOT history shows no defects, remember that an MOT is a snapshot of roadworthiness and not a guarantee of mechanical perfection. For a high-performance 5.9L V12 grand tourer, you should request a comprehensive service history to verify that oil changes and fluid refreshes have occurred despite the low mileage.
Negotiate based on the documentation of specialist maintenance. Because the vehicle has been driven so little, rubber components, seals, and tyres may be aged regardless of tread depth. Ensure any age-related maintenance has been addressed to avoid immediate post-purchase costs.
Running costs for this 5,935cc petrol engine will be substantial. You should budget for high fuel consumption typical of a large-capacity V12 and significant insurance premiums, likely falling into a high insurance group.
Maintenance costs for an Aston Martin are inherently higher than standard vehicles. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, typical expenses will include specialist parts and labour. Expect an annual running cost that reflects the premium nature of the brand.
Focus heavily on the mechanical integrity of the V12 engine and the condition of the braking system. Although no brake pad failures have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history, they are a top failure reason for this model aggregate, so check thickness and wear.
Inspect the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as this is another common failure point for the DB9. Additionally, check all electrical components, specifically ensuring no engine management lights are present, as 'engine mil inoperative' is a noted failure reason in the wider model data.
This silver 2007 Aston Martin DB9 has covered just over 10,000 miles since its first registration in November 2007. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with four consecutive passes and no recorded defects across the recorded period. Given the model's average annual mileage of 1,370, this vehicle's usage is significantly lower than the statistical norm.
The DB9 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.3% across 5,032 analysed vehicles, though common failures include headlamps and brake components.

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.
