2005 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · LF05 VFG

The vehicle presents a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean MOT history over the last seven consecutive years. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 55,191 miles showed no defects, mirroring the clean results from the 2024 and 2023 inspections. While the vehicle experienced a significant failure in July 2018 due to a leaking brake master cylinder and a minor coolant leak, these issues appear to have been fully resolved, as no subsequent brake or fluid-related advisories have appeared in the records. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, moving from 34,875 miles in July 2012 to the current 55,191 miles. This low-mileage pattern suggests the car has been stored carefully or used primarily for seasonal driving rather than heavy commuting. Such low usage often preserves interior components and drivetrain longevity, though it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation in rubber seals and tyres. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre condition. The 2015 record noted inner edge wear and cracking on both front tyres, and the 2014 test flagged a misting offside rear shock absorber. Although these specific issues were not re-flagged in recent years, the low annual mileage increases the risk of age-related perishing in suspension bushes, shock absorber seals, and tyre sidewalls. The history also shows intermittent notes regarding undertrays obscuring components, which was noted in 2015 and 2017. While this does not indicate a mechanical fault, it means a technician may have had limited visibility during previous inspections. A thorough underside check is advised to ensure that the previously noted brake master cylinder leak and coolant issues have not resulted in any secondary corrosion or lingering residue on the chassis or engine bay.
