2012 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · MX12 DXH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of deferred attention regarding minor consumable items. The most recent test in February 2026 at 71,894 miles passed despite advisories for both rear tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This mirrors issues noted in January 2025 at 70,828 miles, where the nearside rear tyre was flagged, suggesting a consistent lack of proactive tyre replacement. At 71,894 miles, the Aston Martin reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,135 miles over its fourteen-year life. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,700 miles covered between December 2023 and January 2025, and another 1,000 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the intervals between tests can sometimes mask the gradual degradation of rubber-based components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and tyres specifically, as the recurring reports of edge wear across multiple axles between 2022 and 2026 suggest potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The frayed offside front seat belt noted in early 2025 remains a specific safety concern that requires physical verification to ensure structural integrity under tension. While no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures have appeared in the record, the focus on minor bulbs and washer faults suggests the owner only addresses defects upon MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance.
