- Full service history to 31,245 miles

The Appeal
Certain DB9s stand out, and this is one of them. Perhaps no surprise because it was built to do just that.
It was the first factory 2011MY facelift car - equipped with the desirable ADS adaptive suspension from the DBS - and the only one finished in tasteful Hardly Green. First registered to the factory, it retains its Aston Martin ‘KX’ registration prefix and is a very high specification model, including a £5,000 Bang & Olufsen sound system.
With its very low mileage and full service history to 31,245 miles - it is now on 33,213 miles - this beautifully maintained car is in great condition and running very well. That impression is reinforced by the long, advisory-free MOT to March 2025.
