2021 Aston Martin DBX 4.0L Petrol · KY21 LCT

The 2021 Aston Martin DBX currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, as the last recorded test occurred on 26 June 2024 at 13,220 miles. That most recent assessment resulted in a pass with zero defects, indicating a resolving maintenance trend following a failure the previous day. The tester initially failed the vehicle on 25 June 2024 at 13,219 miles for an obstructed driver view, an insecure offside rear seat backrest, and an insecurely attached nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage. The immediate rectification and subsequent clean pass demonstrate responsive ownership and a return to full roadworthy condition at the time of testing. Covering just 13,220 miles over its five-year lifespan yields an exceptionally low average of roughly 2,644 miles per year. The MOT records show a mere one-mile increase between the initial failure and the subsequent pass in June 2024, confirming the vehicle saw almost no use during that specific testing window. Such minimal mileage typically indicates light weekend use or prolonged periods standing idle. While low mileage reduces general wear on drivetrain and suspension components, extended stationary periods often lead to flat-spotting on tyres, binding brake calipers, and degraded rubber bushings. A physical inspection must prioritize the nearside rear suspension assembly, specifically checking the anti-roll bar linkage and associated drop links for renewed play or corrosion. The previous failure highlights a specific vulnerability in this area. The buyer should also verify the structural integrity and latching mechanism of the offside rear passenger seat backrest to ensure the locking catch engages securely. Examining the windscreen swept area for lingering chips or poorly positioned aftermarket accessories will confirm the driver view obstruction remains fully resolved. Given the vehicle has remained untested since June 2024, checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for age-related perishing is essential before returning it to the road.
