Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Aston Martin Vantage?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Aston Martin Vantage?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Aston Martin Vantage?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2022 Aston Martin Vantage is exceptionally reliable at MOT, with a 97.6% first-time pass rate that far exceeds the UK average of 80%—dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 0.8% of vehicles. This is a genuinely well-built car, at least in its early years.

These cars are running low mileage (median 10,126 miles), which makes the stellar pass rate easier to interpret: they're young, lightly used, and haven't yet faced the wear that typically surfaces later. When failures do occur, they're rare (0.05 per vehicle), and advisories are modest at 0.4 per vehicle, suggesting no systemic weak spots emerging yet. If you're buying one, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focused on the gearbox and suspension geometry, since long-term durability data on this generation is still limited.
