2009 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · DB59 AMB

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 29 April 2025 at 3,904 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the car consistently passing without recorded defects over the last three years. Although a single failure occurred in May 2024 at 3,886 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly without indicating a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 230 miles per year. Between May 2022 and April 2025, the car covered a mere 663 miles, moving from 3,841 to 3,904 miles. This minimal usage suggests the vehicle is likely stored for long periods. While this limits traditional mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often introduces specific risks related to age-related degradation that an MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that degrade through time rather than distance. Low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from dry seals, perished rubber bushes, and seized brake calipers. The tester should check the condition of the suspension components and the integrity of the tyre sidewalls, which can crack regardless of tread. Furthermore, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of fluid freshness and rubber brake lines to ensure internal corrosion has not occurred despite the low odometer reading.
