Aston Martin Vanquish (2007)
2007 Aston Martin Vanquish
CarHunch analysed 116 real MOT records for the 2007 Aston Martin Vanquish. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Aston Martin Vanquish passes its MOT on the first attempt 88.1% of the time, well above the UK average of 80%, which is a genuine strength for a car of this age and complexity. The dangerous defect rate of 12.1% is modest and not a major concern, suggesting these cars are generally sound when properly maintained.
These Vanquishes are running at just 13,594 miles median—exceptionally low for a 17-year-old car—which explains both the strong pass rate and the average of 5.2 advisories per test, mostly minor wear items rather than serious failures. If you're considering one, check its full service history carefully, as low mileage often masks deferred maintenance on high-performance machinery.
What to check before buying a 2007 Aston Martin Vanquish
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
