Our Verdict
A compelling option for buyers seeking a
Focus your investigation on the service records to confirm how the coolant leak identified in October 2023 was rectified. Because the MOT history shows a recurring issue with front tyres being 'damaged/cracking or perishing' across three consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024), you should verify the date of manufacture of the current tyres to ensure they are fresh and not simply aged rubber.
Running costs for this 3982cc petrol engine will be high. Expect significant fuel expenditure and a high insurance group reflecting the vehicle's performance capabilities. Annual road tax will also be a notable expense based on the engine size and Euro 6D-TEMP status.
Carefully inspect the front tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, as this was a persistent advisory from 2022 through 2024. Check the engine bay and underbody for any signs of coolant residue, referencing the 'harmful to the environment' leak that caused the 2023 MOT failure.
This silver 2019 Aston Martin Vantage has recorded 20,197 miles, which is slightly above the model's average annual mileage of 2,105 miles. The MOT history includes one failure in October 2023 and a pattern of advisories regarding perishing front tyres between 2022 and 2024. However, the most recent test in November 2025 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Vantage demonstrates a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 94.2%, with the most common failures relating to headlamps and tyres.

- Suspension Component CorrosionSerious
The second-generation Vantage shows exceptionally high rates of suspension component corrosion, particularly on control arms, wishbones and suspension mounting points. The issue appears related to inadequate corrosion protection during manufacture rather than age-related wear, with failures documented on cars under 20,000 miles. Corroded suspension components present a direct safety risk and can fail catastrophically.
- Engine Management and Coil Pack FaultsModerate
The Mercedes-AMG M177 twin-turbo V8 engine can suffer from coil pack degradation and lambda sensor failures, causing the engine management light to illuminate. This is particularly common on lower-mileage examples and can relate to fuel quality sensitivity. Ignoring these faults can lead to catalyst damage and reduced fuel economy.
- Brake Pipe and Hose CorrosionSerious
Aston Martin Vantages are known to suffer from brake pipe and hose corrosion, particularly where lines run along the underside exposed to road salt and moisture. The metal ferrules connecting flexible brake hoses to hard lines can corrode, leading to brake fluid leakage and potential brake system failure.
