Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
Given the recent MOT advisories, your priority should be a professional inspection of the braking system. Specifically, check the condition of the nearside rear inner brake hose, the offside front inner brake pipe, and the offside rear inner brake hose to ensure the reported corrosion is not progressing toward a failure.
Negotiate based on the cost of replacing these brake components. Additionally, while the mileage is relatively low for a 20-year-old vehicle, you should request evidence of a comprehensive service history, as high-performance V12 engines require strict maintenance schedules that MOT records cannot confirm.
Running this 5.9L V12 petrol engine will be significantly more expensive than an average vehicle. Expect high fuel consumption consistent with a large-capacity grand tourer and a high insurance group rating.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically high, with parts and specialist labour being a major factor. While the MOT history doesn't show recent failures, typical model issues can include headlamps and brake pads. Budget heavily for both routine servicing and unexpected repairs.
Focus heavily on the braking system. The 2025 MOT record specifically notes corrosion on the offside front inner brake pipe and corrosion to the ferrules on both the nearside and offside rear inner brake hoses. Ensure these have been addressed or factor the repair into your offer.
Beyond the brake lines, be aware of the aggregate model data which suggests headlamps, brake pads, and engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issues as common failure points. Check the operation of all lighting and ensure no warning lights are present on the dashboard during a test drive.
This 2006 Aston Martin DB9 in Silver has covered 52,089 miles since its first registration in October 2006. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with no defects recorded between 2021 and 2024. However, the 2025 MOT inspection flagged multiple advisories related to brake pipe and hose corrosion.
Aggregate data from 5,040 vehicles shows a 92.1% MOT pass rate, with common issues involving headlamps, brake pads, and engine warning lights.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: ASTON MARTIN DB9
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- V12 Timing Cover Oil Leaks(Moderate)
Like the V8, the V12 is prone to weeping oil from the front cover. On the V12, this often requires the entire front end of the car to be dismantled.
- V12 Coil Pack & Spark Plug Failure(Moderate)
Heat soak in the V12 "valley" kills coil packs. Replacement requires removing both intake manifolds, making it a very expensive labor-heavy job.
