Introduced at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Aston Martin DB9 was styled by Ian Callum with input from Henrik Fisker. Underpinned by Aston Martin’s innovative VH platform architecture, the newcomer was equipped with all-round independent suspension, power assisted rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel ABS disc brakes. Powered by Aston Martin’s proven 5.9-litre V12 engine with 450bhp and 420lb. ft. of torque, it was allied to a ZF six-speed ‘Touchtronic’ transmission, though a manual gearbox was a rarely-specified option. The two-plus-two was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and 186mph.
The final facelift of the DB9 in 2013 most notably saw the model restyled with cues from the 2011-12 Virage, such as bi-xenon lights and LED daytime running strips, plus a new grille and a spoiler integrated into the boot lid. Under the bonnet, the V12 was updated to produce 510bhp, and carbon ceramic brakes were standardised.
We’d expect any ten-year-old Aston Martin to be fairly well looked-after, but this fantastic DB9 has seemingly barely aged since it left the showroom. It helps that it has had only three registered keepers and covered just under 30,000 miles from new, and it has been constructed to a highly desirable specification. Painted Meteorite Silver with 20in., ten-spoke Liquid Silver wheels, the exterior finish is beautifully complemented by the interior, which is predominantly trimmed in Ivory Caithness leather with Obsidian Black leather on the dash top and steering wheel. The Alcantara headlining is in Cirrus Grey and the carpets are Phantom Grey, and the ensemble is completed by the Aston Martin wings embroidered in Galena Silver on the headrests. The Aston’s original equipment includes the Aston Martin 700W Premium Audio system, Red brake callipers, sports exhausts, painted exterior door handles, the Carbon interior pack, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, reversing camera, and heated front seats.
The first owner purchased the DB9 from Aston Martin Cheltenham on October 15th, 2015. The second owner purchased it on January 18th, 2018, and it was sold for the final time through Aston Martin Cheltenham to the present owner on March 29th, 2019, and it has since been looked after as part of his private collection, seeing minimal use.
The service history with six stamps testifies as to just how well cared for this car has been with all its owners. The first three services were performed by Aston Martin Cheltenham on October 19th, 2016, at 8,878 miles; October 20th, 2017, at 18,078 miles; and September 17th, 2019, at 21,723 miles. The first service in the present ownership was performed on March 11th, 2020, by Aston Martin Wilmslow at 28,748 miles, and it has since been serviced by Aston Martin specialist Brookside Garage on April 1st, 2021, at 29,179 miles and March 19th, 2024, at 29,492 miles. In addition to the servicing, in both instances Brookside Garage performed its own maintenance checks, which involved inspected the fluids and filters and checking various mechanical and electrical functions, plus the wheels and tyres. In inspecting all these things, Brookside did not find anything requiring corrective attention.
Having been so lovingly cosseted, it is no surprise that the DB9 is now described as “presenting excellently.” Even though it has scarcely been used in the present ownership, it has still been MOT'd from time to time, and was most recently tested on January 12th, 2026, passing with no advisories. The present mileage reading is still below 29,600 miles, meaning barely 1,000 miles have been covered since it was purchased in 2019.
As would be expected, the Aston Martin is supplied with three keys and plenty of paperwork, including the V5C, the original service book, the 2019 purchase invoice from Aston Martin Cheltenham, and Brookside Garage’s maintenance check sheet. It is by no means an overstatement to describe this as one of the best DB9s currently on the market, and if it were to be entered in an Aston Martin Owners’ Club concours, it could well drive away with a prize. In its present condition, we can think of nothing better than getting it out on weekends during the spring and summer, and maybe even planning a long driving holiday or trip to Europe.
