2005 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · 1 RBX

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 15 July 2025 at 18,843 miles returned no defects or advisories. This continued streak of perfect results over the last several years suggests that the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids the triggering of common mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older vehicles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 900 miles per year. Between May 2022 and July 2025, the car covered only 775 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. The three-year gap between the 2019 and 2022 tests highlights a period of very low mechanical demand on the drivetrain and engine. While this reduces wear on moving components like pistons, it often introduces risks regarding age-related degradation that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must look beyond the MOT record to address risks associated with low-mileage storage. Physical inspection should focus on dry rotting tyre sidewalls, perished suspension bushings, and rubber seals which degrade regardless of distance driven. The lack of recorded advisories for brakes or corrosion suggests the car has been sheltered, but brake calipers should be checked for seizing and brake fluid for moisture. Structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified to ensure that long-term storage has not led to hidden corrosion in areas not visible to the tester.
