2016 Aston Martin DB11 5.9L Petrol · 1 MJR

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, showing a stable pattern of roadworthiness over the last seven years. The most recent test on 29 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a period of successful inspections dating back to 2020. The only recorded failure occurred in August 2024, which was a single major defect involving a cut in the nearside rear tyre that reached the ply or cords. This specific issue was rectified, as evidenced by the subsequent pass in August 2025 and the most recent clean certificate. The recorded mileage of 25,383 miles against a 2016 registration indicates a low-use profile, averaging approximately 2,538 miles per year. While this low annual accumulation suggests minimal wear on high-performance components such as the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension linkages, it also reflects a vehicle that has spent significant periods stationary. For a high-performance vehicle of this age, such usage patterns mean that while mechanical wear from friction may be low, components subject to environmental degradation or fluid stagnation should be monitored. Given the specific failure regarding tyre integrity in 2024, a prospective buyer should inspect the current condition of all four tyres for any signs of sidewall damage, cracking, or uneven wear patterns. During a test drive, pay close attention to the rear axle area to ensure there is no vibration or rhythmic thumping that could indicate a structural issue with a tyre or a wheel bearing. Although no suspension or steering defects were flagged in the MOT history, the low mileage usage profile warrants a close inspection of the suspension bushes and dampers for any signs of perished rubber or weeping, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly. The absence of recorded advisories for corrosion or fluid leaks across the seven-year history is a notable aspect of the documentation. However, on a test drive, it is advisable to monitor the engine bay for any signs of oil misting or weeping from gaskets and to check the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or lack of firmness. Ensuring the vehicle maintains a straight tracking and does not pull to either side under braking or during straight-line cruising will help confirm that the low-mileage usage has not resulted in any uneven wear to the steering or suspension geometry.
