Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the 2025 MOT advisories, your primary focus should be the braking system. Specifically, verify if the corrosion on the nearside and offside front brake pipes has been addressed or if the pipes require replacement. Because this car has been used sparingly, check for age-related degradation of rubber components, such as the tyre perishing noted on the nearside rear in 2025.
Request a full service history to ensure the vehicle has been maintained despite its low mileage. For a 5.9L engine, evidence of regular oil changes is more important than the mileage figure itself to ensure long-term engine health.
Owning a 5935cc petrol engine involves significant running costs. Fuel economy will be low, and the vehicle will fall into a high road tax bracket. Insurance groups for the Vantage are typically high, reflecting its performance and value.
Maintenance costs for Aston Martin vehicles are substantial, requiring specialist technicians and expensive parts. Combined with fuel, tax, and insurance, the annual expenditure will be high compared to standard luxury cars.
Carefully inspect the front brake pipes for signs of corrosion, as this was a specific point of concern in the July 2025 MOT. Check all four tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as the low mileage often leads to rubber degradation over time rather than tread wear.
Check that all undertrays are properly secured and fitted, as referenced in the June 2026 MOT. Finally, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox, which can occur in vehicles that spend long periods stationary.
This white 2012 Aston Martin Vantage has covered 21,369 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. It has passed its last five MOT tests, although the July 2025 record noted corrosion on front brake pipes and a perishing rear tyre. The vehicle's low annual usage is consistent with the aggregate data for this model.
The Vantage demonstrates strong reliability in aggregate data with a 94.1% MOT pass rate, with common failures typically limited to headlamps and tyres.
