2010 Aston Martin DBS 5.9L Petrol · X6 DBS

The Aston Martin DBS is currently roadworthy, with a stable and consistent MOT history showing no defects in the last three consecutive tests. The most recent pass on 2025-06-17 at 17,101 miles confirms the vehicle remains in good mechanical condition, with no advisories or failures recorded. The trend indicates reliable maintenance and careful ownership, as the car has passed every inspection without issue since 2022. The recorded mileage of 17,101 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 1,069 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age and type. This suggests infrequent use or extended periods of storage, which may have preserved the mechanical components but could also mean certain systems like the fuel system, battery, and brake calipers have not been exercised regularly. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals with no significant gaps, and the mileage progression is steady, with only minor increases between tests. The absence of any major defects or recurring issues further supports the impression of a well-maintained vehicle. Despite the low mileage, buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres, particularly the nearside front tyre, which was flagged in 2021 for cracking and damage. Although the tyres have since been replaced, their condition at the time of the last MOT indicates potential neglect or exposure to environmental factors. Additionally, the rear tyres were near the legal limit in 2021, suggesting that the vehicle may have been driven with worn tyres for some time. A buyer should also inspect the suspension components, including the coil springs and bushes, for signs of sagging or wear, as these are common on low-mileage vehicles that have not been driven regularly. Brake systems should be checked for binding or corrosion, especially on the rear brakes, which were flagged for binding in the 2023 MOT. Finally, a detailed inspection of the underbody for structural rust or corrosion is advised, as Aston Martins of this era can be susceptible to rust in certain areas, particularly around wheel arches and sills.
