2020 Aston Martin DBX V8 Auto 4.0L Petrol · 47 WHY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 18,926 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a failure in late 2024. While the 2024 test identified specific mechanical issues, the subsequent clean certificate indicates that the previous owner addressed the flagged faults to return the vehicle to standard. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,154 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 14,661 miles and the September 2024 test at 16,976 miles, the car covered only 2,315 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has sat for extended periods, which often leads to the specific types of wear seen in the record, such as corrosion on metal components rather than mechanical fatigue from high engine mileage. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The September 2024 failure flagged both rear brake discs for being pitted and scored, which is a common symptom of low-use vehicles that sit without sufficient braking force to clear surface rust. While the car passed the following year, an inspector must verify that the discs were actually replaced or machined and that the calipers are not binding or seizing due to inactivity. The headlamp aim failure in 2024 was a simple adjustment issue that appears to have been resolved. Given the low annual mileage, close attention should also be paid to the condition of rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyres, as age-related cracking can occur regardless of the distance driven. The record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, suggesting the chassis remains sound.
