How we use engine sizes.
Aston Martin DB7 fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Aston Martin DB7 from 2004 to 2006. On the NEDC test (listings 2004 to 2006), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 14.2 to 14.5 mpg, with CO2 of 469 to 476 g/km.

Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2004 to 2006
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.

Aston Martin DB7 safety recalls
DVSA lists 6 safety recalls for the Aston Martin DB7 since 1992, the first in 1996. The most recent was launched on 18 January 2005.
Launched 18 January 2005DVSA recall R/2005/010Manufacturer ref. SAR 010
Defect
It has been identified that a number of vehicles have been assembled with two in-line rear brake pressure reducing valves installed to one of the rear brake lines instead of one valve in each rear brake line. This condition can cause the vehicle to pull slightly to one side under heavy braking efficiency however is maintained as the system is regulated by the ABS.
Remedy
Recall likely to be affected vehicles and modify to one brake pressure reducing valve to each rear brake line.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Aston Martin DB7. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
