2013 Aston Martin DBS 5.9L Petrol · MAL 504

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 24,841 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car remains in a clean mechanical state. Following a minor failure in early 2021, the vehicle has passed four consecutive tests without any advisories or failures, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 2,889 miles, confirming a history of minimal use or long dry storage. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk associated with age-related degradation of rubber parts. The record shows a 2016 failure where all four tyres were slightly perished, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of rubber-based components and fluid systems despite the clean MOT history. The 2021 failure due to a broken offside rear brake cable and poor parking brake efficiency indicates that the braking mechanism is susceptible to corrosion or seizing when stationary. Given the low usage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, split belts, and tyre sidewalls is essential to ensure they have not perished or cracked. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for surface pitting, as infrequent use often leads to uneven oxidation on high-performance braking systems.
