2019 Aston Martin DB11 4.0L Petrol · 1 PMM

The Aston Martin DB11 presents a stable and largely clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 6 January 2026 at 13,635 miles resulting in a pass. However, a recurring advisory pattern has emerged over the last three consecutive annual tests. The tester flagged the nearside and offside rear inner tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge in January 2026, January 2025, and January 2024. This is not a one-off consumable replacement issue. It is a persistent, unresolved fault that points directly to a mechanical cause rather than simple neglect. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2019 vehicle, averaging roughly 1,948 miles per year. The record shows a steady but slow progression from 6,354 miles in January 2022 to 13,635 miles in January 2026, with no gaps or sudden spikes in the data. Such low annual use means the vehicle has likely spent extended periods stationary, which can cause flat-spotting on tyres and localised corrosion on brake discs and suspension components that normal driving would otherwise wipe clean. The clean pass recorded in January 2023 at 9,499 miles confirms the rear tyre wear issue developed after that date and has not been corrected since. The repeated inner-edge wear on both rear tyres is a classic diagnostic indicator of misaligned rear toe or worn rear suspension bushes and tracking components. On a high-performance GT like the DB11, this pattern suggests the rear suspension geometry requires immediate professional inspection. A buyer must have the rear axle geometry measured on a proper alignment rig before purchase. Ignoring this will destroy expensive tyres in a matter of months. Beyond the tyres, the low-mileage usage pattern demands a careful physical inspection of the underside. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and pitting, inspect all suspension bushes and ball joints for perishing from age rather than mileage, and examine the exhaust system and subframes for any early signs of corrosion. The MOT record confirms the car is fundamentally sound, but the persistent rear tyre wear is a mechanical fault that requires diagnosis and correction.
