2010 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · GV60 SLU

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 28,041 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, maintaining a clean record that began after a failure in 2022. This suggests that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard of operation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 1,750 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the two-year gap between March 2022 and October 2024 where the car covered only 1,263 miles. While this low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent use increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown. The consistent annual testing despite the low mileage indicates an owner who prioritizes legal compliance over simple storage. A buyer should focus physical inspection on components that have shown recurring patterns of failure or wear. The 2022 failure at 24,807 miles highlighted corroded front brake hoses and pitted inner brake discs, necessitating a thorough check of the hydraulic system integrity and rotor condition. Additionally, the history shows multiple failures regarding tyre structural damage and exposed cords between 2019 and 2022, which suggests the vehicle may have suffered from flat spotting or sidewall damage during long periods of standing. Given the low usage, the inspector must also verify the suspension bushings and perished seals for cracking or leaking, as these parts often fail more rapidly on cars that sit stationary than those driven frequently.
