2012 Bimota DB5 1.1L Petrol · PL12 BVY

The 2012 BIMOTA DB5 is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance history showing two consecutive MOT passes at the same test station. The most recent test on 2025-09-06 confirmed the vehicle's compliance with UK road safety standards, with no defects recorded. This consistent passing record over the past year suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no emerging mechanical or structural issues detected during inspection. The recorded mileage of 13,682 miles over 14 years equates to an average of just under 980 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2024-09-14 test (12,212 miles) and the 2025-09-06 test (13,682 miles) shows only 1,470 miles of use over 12 months, indicating minimal activity. This low usage pattern may suggest the vehicle has been stored for extended periods or used infrequently, which can lead to issues with battery health, fuel degradation, and rubber component deterioration despite low mileage. Given the low usage and stable MOT results, a buyer should prioritize inspecting components prone to degradation during long-term storage. Focus on the condition of the tyres for dry rot, the battery for charge retention, and the fuel system for varnish or contamination. Also examine the suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for signs of sagging or corrosion. While no brake or suspension faults were recorded, the low mileage may mask wear in less frequently used systems, so a thorough mechanical inspection is advised before purchase.
