2002 Aston Martin DB7 5.9L Petrol · V12 KBO

The 2002 Aston Martin DB7 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2018 to 2024 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2024-10-22 at 33,188 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the10-year history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-preserved. The absence of advisories or failures implies the owner prioritized regular servicing, though the low mileage raises questions about long-term component integrity. The vehicle’s mileage of 33,188 miles over 24 years equates to approximately 1,383 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This pattern suggests infrequent use or prolonged storage, which can accelerate corrosion in untreated metalwork and degrade fluids. Notable gaps between tests—such as the 24-month interval between 2019-03-28 (29,097 miles) and 2021-06-08 (31,031 miles)—may have allowed minor issues to persist undetected. The lack of rapid mileage spikes reduces wear on consumables but does not eliminate risks associated with inactivity, such as seized suspension bushes or oxidized brake discs. A buyer should inspect the undercarriage for rust, particularly around chassis rails and suspension mounts, as low mileage often correlates with stagnant corrosion. Check brake calipers for binding and verify brake disc thickness, as inactivity can cause uneven wear. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, may require closer scrutiny for age-related fatigue. The exhaust system should also be assessed for hidden leaks, as prolonged inactivity can compromise seals. While the MOT record shows no immediate concerns, the vehicle’s low usage history demands a thorough mechanical inspection to confirm its long-term reliability.
