The ASTON MARTIN DB9 (2004-16) 2DR COUPE 5.9 V12 450 6SPD is a British luxury grand tourer: a stylish, two-door coupe rather than a practical hatchback or family SUV. Its long bonnet, elegant cabin and powerful V12 give it a special place in the UK’s high-end used-car market, appealing to buyers seeking occasion and character. Across 230 look-ups covering 79 distinct VINs, mycarcheck.com data shows an average private-sale valuation of £22,000, average most recent recorded mileage of 46,000 miles and annual mileage of about 1,000 miles. The average number of previous keepers is 2.3. These figures offer a useful snapshot of checked cars, though individual condition and history vary. Best suited to enthusiasts or couples seeking weekend and long-distance trips, the DB9 is less convincing as an everyday commuter: running costs and fuel use are substantial, and rear seats and luggage space are limited. Compared with Bentley Continental GT, it feels especially graceful.
