1997 Aston Martin DB7 3.2L Petrol · P562 BXP

The 1997 Aston Martin DB7 remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 6 January 2026 at 22 921 miles returned a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle’s maintenance trend is stable and that no new issues have emerged in the last year. The mileage record shows a steady, low‑usage pattern. From 4 January 2022 (21 094 miles) to 6 January 2026 (22 921 miles) the car accumulated 1 827 miles, an average of roughly 457 miles per year. This is well below the ~790 miles per year implied by the overall age‑mileage ratio, and there are no gaps or sudden spikes in the data that would suggest periods of heavy use or neglect. A prospective buyer should focus on the typical wear items that are not captured by the MOT. Inspect the tyres for tread depth and sidewall integrity, check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or oil leakage. Verify that the engine oil and coolant are at correct levels and colour, confirm that the battery is secure and charged, and look for any signs of corrosion on the chassis or body panels. A thorough visual and functional check of the exhaust system and steering components will also help ensure that the vehicle remains in the good condition reflected by its MOT history.
