2009 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · DB09 JAC

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 12 May 2026 at 11,258 miles which recorded zero defects. The maintenance trend is currently stable, having transitioned from a period of minor consumable issues to a perfect score in the last two annual inspections. This suggests that the previous mechanical and rubber concerns have been addressed by the owner prior to the latest tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old Aston Martin, averaging approximately 662 miles per year. The data shows a significant plateau in usage between September 2020 at 9,724 miles and January 2022 at 9,836 miles, where the car covered only 112 miles in a 16-month period. While this low mileage generally indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between use often lead to degradation due to age rather than mechanical friction. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the rubber-based components and fluid systems. The recurring advisories from 2020 through 2023 regarding sidewall cracking and perishing on the front tyres highlight that the vehicle suffers from age-related dry rot due to sitting stationary. This risk extends to the suspension bushings, engine hoses, and timing belts, which can become brittle without regular heat cycling. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, and the brake fluid should be tested for moisture content to prevent internal corrosion of the calipers.
