2013 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · AE13 AEG

This Aston Martin DB9 has maintained a consistently clean MOT history across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the most recent examinations. The January 2026 test at 34,043 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear or deferred maintenance. The pattern of flawless passes suggests either meticulous owner upkeep or a vehicle that has been spared heavy use, but it does not guarantee that all high-value components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—have been systematically serviced beyond basic compliance. The recorded mileage of 34,043 miles over a 13-year span equates to an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 2,619 miles, which is well below the typical usage for a high-performance vehicle of this class. The intervals between tests reveal no unusual gaps—each MOT was conducted roughly 12 months apart, with the most recent one occurring just six months ago. The consistency in mileage accumulation, particularly the steady progression from 23,770 miles in April 2022 to 34,043 miles now, indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to aggressive driving or prolonged periods of neglect. However, low mileage alone does not exempt the car from age-related deterioration, particularly in critical areas like the drivetrain, electrical systems, or structural integrity. Given the lack of MOT advisories or defects, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, as even low-mileage vehicles of this age can develop worn or dried-out bushes and deteriorated coil springs. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs—common issues in a vehicle with limited use but prolonged exposure to environmental factors. Additionally, the electrical system, including the charging circuit and battery health, warrants attention, as prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to parasitic drain or degraded components. Finally, a detailed examination of the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, is essential, as rust can compromise structural integrity without necessarily affecting MOT passability.
