Aston Martin Vantage (2020)
2020 Aston Martin Vantage
CarHunch analysed 149 real MOT records for the 2020 Aston Martin Vantage. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Aston Martin Vantage is a remarkably reliable performer, with a 96% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—a 16-point margin that reflects genuinely strong build quality for a supercar. Dangerous defects are rare, affecting only 2.7% of the cohort, so structural and safety concerns are minimal.
These cars average just 14,663 miles at test, confirming they're low-mileage cherished machines rather than hard-driven daily drivers, which partly explains the stellar pass rate. The average vehicle encounters only 0.17 failures and 1.1 advisories per test, suggesting that when problems do emerge they tend to be minor—so budget for consumables and minor wear items, but don't expect major component failures in the near term.
What to check before buying a 2020 Aston Martin Vantage
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.
