2006 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · M26 CAU

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 30 May 2025 at 37,283 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage is very low for a twenty year old car, averaging roughly 1,864 miles per year. Activity remained minimal between July 2021 at 31,507 miles and July 2022 at 32,033 miles, where the car covered only 426 miles in a full year. Usage increased slightly in the subsequent periods, reaching 34,771 miles by June 2024 and 37,283 miles by May 2025. Such low usage often indicates a collector-owned vehicle, though it can also lead to specific degradation issues. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low mileage and periods of inactivity necessitate a targeted physical inspection. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, which can occur regardless of mileage. The lack of recorded brake defects is positive, but the inspector should verify that the brake discs have not suffered from surface corrosion or pitting due to long periods of standing. Fluid condition is the primary concern here. The absence of MOT failures does not confirm the frequency of oil changes or coolant flushes. A buyer must verify service records to ensure the engine and drivetrain have been lubricated regularly despite the low annual mileage. Checking for leaks around the seals and gaskets is essential, as seals can dry out and shrink when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
