2005 Aston Martin DB9 5.9L Petrol · V12 WAD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on 4 July 2023 at 27,165 miles. This most recent pass follows a test failure recorded on 26 June 2023, though the specific reasons for that initial rejection were not documented in the provided history. Given the absence of recurring advisories or persistent mechanical faults in the three recorded tests between 2022 and 2023, the recent roadworthiness trend appears stable. The recorded mileage of 27,165 miles over a 21-year period averages approximately 1,294 miles per annum. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant time in storage or periods of inactivity. While low mileage often reduces the wear on drivetrain components, it frequently leads to the degradation of rubber seals, gaskets, and suspension bushes which can perish or seize when not subjected to regular heat cycles and movement. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these components are most susceptible to age-related deterioration during prolonged periods of standing. Check the condition of all flexible brake hoses for signs of cracking and verify that the calipers are not binding. Inspect the underside for any evidence of corrosion on the chassis or subframes, as structural integrity is a critical concern for vehicles of this age. Confirm that all electrical systems and fluid levels are functioning correctly, as infrequent use can mask underlying issues with cooling and lubrication systems that may only manifest during sustained operation. Buying score 60. Risk level Medium.
