2012 Aston Martin DBS 5.9L Petrol · CAL 285

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight consecutive MOT passes recorded since 2017 without a single defect or advisory. This stability is evidenced by the most recent clean pass on 30 October 2025, confirming that the vehicle has met the minimum legal requirements for road safety without the chronic mechanical failures or recurring advisories often associated with vehicles of this age. The recorded mileage of 15,268 miles is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,091 miles per year. A notable gap in the testing history occurs between September 2022 and October 2024, which indicates the vehicle may have been stored or otherwise unused for a significant period. This usage profile suggests that while traditional wear and tear on the drivetrain is likely minimal, the mechanical risks are shifted toward the effects of long-term inactivity. As the MOT history is devoid of specific failures, there are no recorded issues with subframe corrosion, oil leaks, or suspension bushes to specifically target. Inspection should instead focus on the physical condition of rubber seals and the operation of the braking system. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual knocks from the suspension linkages and feel for any binding in the brake calipers or a lack of smoothness in the steering, as these are common symptoms in vehicles that have spent extended periods stationary.
