2006 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · 1 RCM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT pass results. The most recent test conducted in April 2024 at 32,451 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard. This trend of zero-failures across the last five inspections indicates that the mechanical and structural integrity of the DB9 has remained within acceptable parameters during the tested intervals. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old luxury-grand tourer, averaging only approximately 1,600 miles per year. Between March 2017 and April 2024, the car covered just 5,368 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of stationary dry storage. There is a notable three-year gap between February 2018 and July 2021 where the vehicle covered fewer than 900 miles. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of component degradation due to age and lack of movement rather than usage. Buyers must prioritize a physical inspection of components susceptible to long periods of standing. Despite the clean MOT record, rubber-based parts such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre seals may show dry rot or cracking from age. The braking system should be checked for seized calipers or corroded discs, as low-frequency use often leads to surface rust buildup. Additionally, the age of the fluids and timing belts is critical, as the MOT record does not account for the chemical breakdown of materials over two decades.
