2006 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · OO03 ESA

The 2006 Aston Martin DB9 is presently roadworthy, having passed the March 2025 MOT at 51,960 miles with no defects recorded. The consecutive passes in 2022, 2023 and 2025 indicate a stable maintenance trend with no recurring faults. The vehicle’s recorded mileage averages about 2,600 miles per year, well below the typical wear rate for a 20‑year‑old car, suggesting periods of limited use or standing. Mileage rose from 50,463 miles in August 2019 to 51,960 miles in March 2025, a gain of 1,497 miles over six years, or roughly 249 miles annually, showing a modest but steady increase. No tests were recorded between August 2019 and March 2025, implying the car may have been stored for extended intervals. Recurring issues flagged in earlier records include rear sub‑frame corrosion noted in the November 2013 test and an off‑side rear coil spring corrosion at the same date, both described as not seriously weakened but worthy of close inspection. The 2022 MOT recorded thin rear brake pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) and perishing front tyres, indicating that brake and tyre wear items have re‑appeared despite recent passes. The 2015 failure for a non‑securing fuel cap and lamp fault shows minor electrical and sealing concerns that should be verified. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear brake pads and discs, examine tyre tread and side‑wall integrity, check suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or binding, confirm that the under‑trays and engine covers have been removed to expose the chassis, and verify that no new rust affects the rear sub‑frame or structural members. Functional checks of the fuel cap seal and all lamps are advisable given the 2015 advisory.
