Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 Aston Martin Db11?

The 2019 Aston Martin DB11 is genuinely reliable, with a 95.2% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 4.1% of cars. This is a low-mileage cohort, averaging only 14,718 miles for a five-year-old car, which explains why failures are minimal at 0.23 per vehicle.

Most examples will need some attention to advisories (averaging 1.9 per car), typically routine wear items rather than structural concerns. If you're considering one, prioritise a full service history and recent MOT report to confirm those advisory issues have been addressed, as low mileage can mask deferred maintenance.

The 2019 Aston Martin Db11 passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
