2012 Aston Martin DBS 5.9L Petrol · X7 RKS

The Aston Martin DBS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 25 July 2025 at 16,065 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five examinations from 2 December 2021 to 25 July 2025, the vehicle cleared every test without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken sequence signals careful ownership. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 2012 model. Distance rose from 14,947 miles on 2 December 2021 to 16,065 miles on 25 July 2025, a mere 1,118 miles over forty-three months. Intermediate tests show 15,318 miles on 31 March 2022, 15,620 on 3 April 2023, and 15,963 on 21 June 2024. Such low annual throughput implies prolonged storage rather than daily driving, with no rapid accumulation to stress consumables. Despite the clean record, a buyer should commission an in-person inspection of components vulnerable to standing damage. The examiner noted no worn suspension bushes, corroded coil springs, or pitted brake discs, yet long inactivity can conceal perishing rubber and surface corrosion on calipers. Verify structural integrity at chassis legs and mountings for rust bleed, and confirm exhaust emissions stay within limits given infrequent engine warm-ups. Check tyres and wiper blades for age cracking even though tread never triggered an advisory. Run the drivetrain through full rev range to expose any binding calipers from disuse. The MOT history implies previous keepers prioritised sheltered storage, but physical verification of these mechanical points remains prudent.
