2006 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · KJ06 AML

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 28 August 2025 at 38,867 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories. This stable trend suggests that the Aston Martin has been maintained to a high standard and has not encountered the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,943 miles per year. Between March 2021 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 3,921 miles, indicating it is used sporadically or kept in dry storage. The interval between tests remained relatively regular, with the shift from March to August testing starting in 2024 likely reflecting a change in ownership preference. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based components due to lack of movement. Because the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to long periods of standing. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for cracking or perished rubber, as these often fail from age before mileage. The brake calipers should also be checked for binding or corrosion, which frequently occurs when vehicles are infrequently driven. Despite the clean record, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for hidden rust to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage.
