Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a colle
When inspecting this specific Silver Vanquish, prioritize verifying the service history, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness and not mechanical maintenance. Given the low mileage of 33,001, check that all rubber components, such as tyres and seals, have been maintained despite infrequent use.
Negotiate based on the documented history of the vehicle. While the MOT record is clean, ensure you request evidence of specialist servicing, which is critical for a high-capacity 5935cc petrol engine. Look for any signs of fluid leaks or battery health issues, which can occur in low-mileage performance cars.
Running costs for this vehicle are substantial. As a 5.9L petrol supercar, fuel economy will be low, and insurance groups for the Vanquish are typically at the highest tier.
Maintenance costs are expected to be high, particularly for specialist parts and labour required for an Aston Martin. While the MOT history shows no failures, the estimated annual running cost must account for high-premium insurance, significant fuel consumption, and the potential for expensive routine servicing.
Inspect the tyres closely; although the MOT history has not recorded tyre failures, the low annual mileage suggests they may be older than the tread depth suggests. Check the headlamps and registration plates, as these are the most common failure points for this model type according to aggregate data.
Because this vehicle has covered roughly 5,000 miles per year—well above the model average of 1,328 miles—inspect the braking system and suspension components for any signs of wear that may have accumulated despite the relatively low total mileage.
This 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish, finished in Silver, has covered just 33,001 miles since its first registration in June 2016. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes without a single recorded defect or advisory between 2022 and 2026. While the mileage is significantly lower than the model average, buyers must account for the specific upkeep requirements of a 5.9L V12 engine.
The Aston Martin Vanquish shows a high average MOT pass rate of 94.2% across 1,922 analysed vehicles.

- Haptic Button & Infotainment GlitchesModerate
The second-generation Vanquish introduced a capacitive glass centre console with haptic feedback and a motorised pop-up 6.5-inch infotainment display. Early 2012–2014 vehicles frequently suffer from unresponsive glass buttons, erratic touch vibrations, and motorized screen gears sticking or jamming in the dashboard. Additionally, physical push-buttons for the PRND transmission controls can loosen or collapse behind the centre console fascia due to failing plastic retainers, requiring centre stack removal.
- Carbon Fiber Body DamageSerious
Every exterior body panel on the second-generation Vanquish is constructed from lightweight carbon fibre mounted to the VH generation IV aluminium architecture. Because carbon composite cannot be panel-beaten or pulled like steel or aluminium, even minor impacts cause delamination, structural cracking, or splintering. The low front splitter and rear aero diffuser are especially vulnerable to UK speed cushions, steep driveways, and high kerbs, with replacement OEM splitters costing thousands.
- Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) Brake Rotor Wear and ChippingSerious
The AM310 Vanquish features third-generation Brembo Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brakes as standard equipment, utilizing massive 398mm ventilated discs up front and 360mm discs at the rear. While ceramic rotors can last in excess of 100,000 road miles, careless wheel changes without guide pins easily chip the fragile rotor edges, rendering them an MOT failure. Furthermore, track driving causes thermal oxidation and surface pitting, requiring disc weighing rather than simple thickness measurement to assess wear.
