Dbs reliability / issues

[9153mark]

Hi all, ive had a DBS before (and several v8v's), looking at a few dbs's now as the itch needs scratching...
Another imminent (real) baby means my budget cant stretch to the £110k lower mileage examples are fetching. So having never ran an AM past 25k miles I was wondering what your experiences have been mechanically with DBS's particularly once past 30k?
I know about the obvious things, brakes, bodywork, adaptive susp etc... And would be buying from a main dealer...
But as we will be a one income family again for a while, Id ideally like a couple of years of service tax insurance costs only (I know things can go wrong, but any common issues is what im looking to know).
So any insights would be helpful.

Hi Mark,
Mine was at 42k miles and no issues at all. Worth checking carbon ceramics are still relatively smooth, recent clutch etc, but outside of that nothing outside of normal servicing. Go for it! Congrats on the impending arrival btw, still got the bikes?

Yep but just an R1 now...
It will only do 2-3k a year so the miles will get closer to average if I keep it a few years (which I plan to do)...
Looking at tt tho rather than manual
Theres a few in the high 20k - 40k that are in tip top aesthetic condition so fingers crossed.
Thanks Mark for info tho

Hope all well with u buddy

Hi, bought mine when it was in the 40's it's used regularly and now sat with 67k on the clock.
No major mechanical issues for last 3 years then recently had to have the tracker sorted as it was grounding out the battery so new battery and good as new. Did find some water ingress through a seal but not an expensive repair.
Some blisters in the paint now showing in usual places but the car has been fantastic.
Don't be worried by having a few miles on the clock as long as the service history is up to date and complete.
