Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for collect
While the MOT history shows no defects, an MOT certificate is not a substitute for a comprehensive mechanical inspection. For a high-performance 5.9L V12 grand tourer, you should request a detailed service history to confirm that even though the mileage is low, the vehicle has received regular oil changes and fluid replacements to prevent seals from drying out.
Negotiate based on the documented service intervals. When viewing, check for any signs of 'dry rot' on tyres or rubber components, as low-mileage cars can often suffer from age-related degradation despite minimal usage. Ensure any recent work is backed by invoices, as the cost of parts for this model is substantial.
Running this DB9 will involve significant expenditure. The 5935cc petrol engine sits in a high insurance group and tax band, and fuel economy will be low, reflecting its large displacement.
Maintenance costs for Aston Martin vehicles are typically much higher than standard consumer cars. While this vehicle has avoided MOT failures, you should budget for premium components such as brakes and tyres. Expect an estimated annual running cost to be substantial, covering fuel, high-tier insurance, and a contingency for specialist maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the areas identified in aggregate model data, specifically checking the operation of headlamps and the remaining life of brake pads. Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, these are common failure points for the DB9 model.
Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes develop weeping seals. Given the silver paintwork, check for any inconsistencies in panel gaps or paint depth which might indicate previous repairs not captured in the MOT history.
This 2016 Aston Martin DB9, finished in Silver, has covered just 20,106 miles since its first registration in March 2016. The MOT history is notably clean, with five consecutive passes and no recorded defects between 2021 and 2025. Given the model's average annual mileage of 1,388, this specific vehicle has been driven significantly less than the typical example in our database.
The DB9 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.1% across 5,034 analysed vehicles, though common failures include headlamps and brake pads.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: ASTON MARTIN DB9
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- V12 Timing Cover Oil Leaks(Moderate)
Like the V8, the V12 is prone to weeping oil from the front cover. On the V12, this often requires the entire front end of the car to be dismantled.
- V12 Coil Pack & Spark Plug Failure(Moderate)
Heat soak in the V12 "valley" kills coil packs. Replacement requires removing both intake manifolds, making it a very expensive labor-heavy job.
