2015 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · JO07 AMW

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026, just over a week ago, but you should approach this purchase with caution regarding the tyres. There is a clear pattern of neglect regarding the rear rubber. In May 2025, the tester flagged both rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit. One year later, after the car covered only roughly 300 miles, the exact same defects were recorded again. This tells me the previous owner ignored the advisory last year and continued to drive on tyres that were already past their best. You will need to budget for two new rear tyres immediately, as they are likely illegal or very close to it. The wear is described as being on the edge, which can indicate alignment issues or under-inflation, though on a low-mileage sports car, it often results from the vehicle sitting for long periods with tyres losing pressure. With an average of only 2,000 miles per year, this car has led a very easy life in terms of mechanical wear, but low usage brings its own risks. Components like tyres, belts, and hoses degrade with age rather than mileage, so do not assume low mileage means no wear. Aside from the tyres and a previously noted windscreen chip that did not affect the driver's view, the MOT history is clean with no suspension or brake defects.
