Source-backed issue coverage for this exact road-car version. An empty list means no model-specific issue has been established in this guide, not that the vehicle is fault-free.
Confirm the particular Superleggera/770/coachbuilt build specification and campaign history. Carbon body and brake work needs model-specific instructions. Inspect the folding roof, seals and drainage with the correct handbook; do not force a roof that reports a fault.

This does not establish reliability or mean that no recalls exist. The available ownership record and public registry coverage are limited. Check the exact VIN and market with an authorised dealer.
Severity reflects potential impact, not fault frequency. Diagnosis and regional labour rates affect the final repair cost.
Sources and research
The sources below were checked on the dates shown. They support what this page says about the car. They do not show how often a fault occurs, or the condition of one particular vehicle. Where a build year, production total or service figure is still uncertain, confirm it against the factory record and the VIN.
Parent-model reference. Applicability to this edition has not been verified.
Confirm the twin-turbo V12 build, brake package and equipment. Ultimate and coachbuilt editions have their own chassis and body specifications. The 499-car farewell allocation includes 300 Coupés and 199 Volantes, with a horseshoe bonnet vent, unique wheels and chassis revisions. The open-top body has its own roof mechanism and sealing requirements.
Battery care is one of the most useful ownership skills on any modern Aston Martin. Whether you are replacing the battery or simply setting up a tender routine, the goal is stable voltage and fewer false faults.
Brake fluid age matters on every Aston Martin, and especially on the heavier or faster models. A fluid change is simple in principle, but it should only be attempted if you can guarantee a clean process and a firm pedal afterwards.
Regular brake inspection is one of the simplest ways to prevent expensive Aston Martin running-cost surprises. This guide focuses on safe visual checks, wear patterns, and when inspection should turn into a specialist visit.
Treat the DBS Superleggera oil service as a careful, exact-spec maintenance job. Turbocharged performance engines reward clean procedure and punish guesswork.
Repeated flat batteries on an Aston Martin are often caused by a tired battery or low-use pattern rather than a dramatic parasitic drain. Start by proving the battery and charging system before hunting for obscure faults.
A check engine light on an Aston Martin can mean anything from a minor sensor complaint to a drivability issue that should not be ignored. The smart move is to read the codes, then interpret them in the context of voltage, service history, and how the car is being used.
Misfire complaints on Aston Martin cars usually start with ignition service items, low voltage, or age-related air and vacuum issues. The risk rises quickly if the warning light flashes or the engine is obviously shaking.
If an Aston Martin starts running hotter than normal, the safest assumption is that something real has changed. Cooling-system issues are rarely made cheaper by continuing to drive and hoping they settle down.
Steering shake or pedal pulse under braking is usually a brake-condition problem before it is a mysterious chassis issue. The question is whether the root cause is deposits, wear, heat, or suspension support.
Frequently asked questions
Does an empty issue list mean there are no faults?
No. Limited production, reporting gaps and incomplete public documentation can limit the available evidence. Check the individual vehicle and VIN campaign record.
Do the family’s recalls automatically apply?
No. Factory model-year, equipment, transmission and VIN restrictions still apply to each derivative.
