About This Data
The 1967 Aston Martin Db6 has an MOT pass rate of 88.7% based on 1,199 tests — well above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 45,133 miles on the odometer. With a 11.3% failure rate, the 1967 Db6 is rated as "Excellent" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 1967 Aston Martin Db6, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to body, chassis, structure: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely. With relatively low average mileage of 45,133 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.
Body, chassis, structure — 0.2% of failures
Body, chassis, structure issues account for 0.2% of MOT failures on 1967 Aston Martin Db6 models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: £100–500+. Pre-MOT check: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely.
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 0.1% of failures
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 0.1% of MOT failures on 1967 Aston Martin Db6 models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Noise, emissions and leaks — 0.1% of failures
Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 0.1% of MOT failures on 1967 Aston Martin Db6 models. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
