2005 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · LJ05 CPV

The vehicle currently holds a solid roadworthiness rating of 100%, with the MOT record dated 2025-04-24 showing no defects at 36,433 miles. While the most recent test passed with no issues, the history reveals a distinct trend of maintenance neglect regarding the front brakes, which has resulted in a binding condition. This recurring failure indicates a lack of basic upkeep, suggesting the owner may have neglected the critical suspension and braking components, leading to accelerated wear that could compromise structural integrity. The mileage profile presents a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded usage, with only 36,433 miles logged over approximately 21 years. This low mileage is atypical for a 21-year-old Aston Martin DB9, which typically requires 1,735 miles per year. The sparse data suggests the car has been used infrequently or for very light loads, potentially masking wear on critical components like the suspension bushings and brake discs. The lack of recorded maintenance for the front brakes over the past 3.5 years is a major red flag, as this area is prone to corrosion and binding issues that are not immediately visible. Given the binding condition of the front brakes and the history of insufficient maintenance for suspension and braking, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the front suspension, brake discs, and wheel bearings. If the brakes exhibit any binding or corrosion, the vehicle must be taken to a qualified mechanic immediately to address the issue before the next MOT. The vehicle is not roadworthy at 100% and requires immediate attention to prevent further deterioration.
