2006 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · 594 UXL

The Aston Martin DB9 presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent DVSA test. The June 2022 examination at 18,249 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met statutory requirements at that time. No worsening or recurring fault trend is evident from the available history, though the single entry limits longitudinal comparison. The recorded mileage of 18,249 at the 2022 test equates to roughly 912 miles per year across the vehicle's sixteen years of age. This figure is exceptionally low and suggests prolonged periods of storage or minimal seasonal use rather than active daily driving. The MOT record shows no earlier entries supplied, so rapid accumulation or pre-2022 gaps cannot be assessed from the data provided. A clean single test with no advisories implies basic statutory upkeep was met, but offers no insight into intermediate care. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the low-mileage standing pattern. Dormant storage accelerates perishing of rubber components and can induce binding calipers or corroded brake discs without high-mileage wear masking the issue. The absence of recorded advisories does not preclude latent structural corrosion on a 2006 chassis now twenty years old. Verify the odometer against service invoices and confirm the four-year gap since the last test does not conceal unrecorded use. The July 2026 date leaves the vehicle overdue for retest; a fresh MOT is mandatory before road use and will reveal any deferred defects.
