2023 Aston Martin DBX V8 Auto 4.0L Petrol · AJZ 39

A spotless MOT record across its first two tests indicates no recorded defects to date, with the most recent examination on 5 August 2026 confirming a pass and no advisory items. This uninterrupted clean history suggests that, at least up to the latest test, the vehicle’s primary safety‑critical systems have met the statutory standards without issue. At 22 080 miles the DBX has accumulated roughly 7 360 miles per year since its 2023 introduction, a mileage pattern that aligns with typical usage for a high‑performance SUV of this age. The two MOTs are spaced six months apart, showing no unexplained gaps in testing that might conceal periods of inactivity or excessive mileage spikes. Mechanically, this moderate annual run‑rate should place wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyre tread, and suspension components within normal expectations for a vehicle of this specification. Although the MOT data reveal no specific faults, a prospective buyer should still conduct a focused inspection of the high‑stress areas inherent to a V8‑powered SUV. On a low‑speed test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could hint at worn suspension bushes or deteriorating coil springs, and feel for any steering pull or vibration that might betray alignment or tyre‑related issues. Apply the brakes firmly to assess pedal firmness and look for any judder, pulsation, or uneven pedal travel that could indicate emerging disc or pad wear, and inspect the wheel rims for cracks or corrosion that could affect structural integrity. A visual check of the engine bay for fresh oil leaks, coolant seepage, or abnormal exhaust smoke will also help confirm that the powertrain remains sealed and operating within normal parameters. Given the clean MOT history, the next statutory test will be due by early 2027; ensuring that the vehicle remains within the manufacturer’s service intervals will be essential to preserve this record. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified technician, with particular attention to the items outlined above, will provide the most reliable indication of current roadworthiness and help identify any latent issues that the MOT programme has not yet flagged.
