2013 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · LF63 FJP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as confirmed by the most recent MOT on 31 October 2025 at 13,691 miles, which passed with only two front tyres listed as perishing—no other defects were recorded. This follows four consecutive passes without any issues from 2021 to 2023, indicating consistent mechanical integrity over the past four years. The recurrence of tyre-related advisories since 2024 suggests a pattern of wear that may be linked to storage conditions or infrequent use, but no underlying structural or drivetrain faults have emerged. The recorded mileage of 13,691 miles over 13 years equates to an average of approximately 1,053 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady progression: 11,943 miles in October 2021, rising to 12,447 by October 2022, then 12,954 in October 2023, and 13,263 in October 2024—each test occurring roughly one year apart with incremental increases. The jump to 13,691 miles by October 2025 reflects a similar pace, suggesting regular but light usage rather than long-term inactivity. There are no gaps in testing, and the consistent annual cycle supports reliable maintenance habits. Given the repeated tyre perishing noted from 2024 onward, especially on the front axle, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, steering components, and wheel alignment is essential. Binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or misaligned wheels could accelerate tyre degradation. The rear tyres also showed signs of cracking in 2024, which may indicate poor storage conditions or inadequate load distribution. While no structural corrosion or frame damage was flagged, a thorough check of the underbody, sills, and subframe for hidden rust or impact damage is recommended, particularly given the car’s age and low mileage. Additionally, verify the condition of the exhaust system and emissions controls, as these can degrade during prolonged idleness even if not immediately apparent.
