Common Problems: ASTON MARTIN DBS
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Carbon Ceramic Brake Wear(Serious)
While they last a long time, the rotors are incredibly expensive. Pitting or surface degradation means a massive bill is coming.
- Door Handle & Timing Cover Issues(Moderate)
The DBS is not immune to the standard VH platform faults of sagging handles and oil weeps.
- V12 Coil Pack and Spark Plug Failure(Moderate)
The DBS shares the V12 with the DB9 and is equally prone to coil pack failures caused by heat soak in the engine valley. Replacement requires removing both intake manifolds, making it a labor-intensive job.
