Moderate sample. 390 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2014 Aston Martin Vantage is a genuinely reliable proposition by MOT standards, with a 92.4% first-time pass rate that sits well ahead of the UK average of 80%. Dangerous defects are uncommon at 8.2%, so safety isn't a widespread concern for this cohort.
These cars are running low mileage for their age—just 19,577 miles on average—which explains both the strong pass rate and the relatively modest 0.81 failures per vehicle; the real story is the 4.9 advisories per test, suggesting minor wear items and maintenance niggles are creeping in. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the electrical systems and suspension components that typically trigger those advisories, since they hint at where costs may emerge as the car ages.
The 2014 Aston Martin Vantage passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (92.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 390 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
