Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the recurrin
When inspecting this Vantage, prioritise a professional alignment check. The recurring inner-edge tyre wear noted in the last two MOTs suggests a potential suspension geometry issue or simply the effects of long-term storage and infrequent use. Given the low mileage, ensure the tyres are not only worn but also check their date codes; rubber can perish over time even if the tread appears sufficient.
Verify the service history thoroughly. A car of this age with under 4,000 miles may have spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to issues with seized brakes, fluid degradation, and battery health. Ask the seller for documentation confirming that the vehicle has been regularly exercised and that all fluids have been changed according to time-based intervals rather than just mileage.
Running a 5935cc Aston Martin Vantage is a significant financial commitment. You should expect high fuel consumption given the engine displacement, and annual road tax will fall into the highest bracket. Insurance premiums will be elevated due to the vehicle's performance status and the cost of specialist parts.
Maintenance costs for this model are substantial. Beyond standard servicing, budget for premium tyres—as highlighted by the recent advisories—and potentially higher costs for suspension and braking components. An estimated annual running cost, excluding major repairs or depreciation, is likely to be between £2,500 and £3,500 depending on your annual usage.
Focus your inspection on the rear suspension and tyre contact patches. The MOT history specifically cites inner-edge wear on the rear tyres, which warrants a check of the wishbone bushes and tracking settings. Because this is a high-performance vehicle, ensure that any replacement tyres are of the correct specification and load rating as recommended by Aston Martin.
Additionally, check for any signs of fluid leaks beneath the engine and transmission, as seals can harden during long periods of inactivity. Inspect the headlamps for clarity and ensure the engine management system is functioning correctly, as 'engine MIL inoperative' is a common failure point for this model across the wider fleet data.
This 2009 Aston Martin Vantage in silver features an exceptionally low recorded mileage of 3,998 miles. The MOT history from 2025 and 2026 shows consistent advisories regarding inner edge tyre wear on the rear axle. As a 5.9-litre petrol model, it presents a unique ownership proposition that deviates significantly from the model's average annual mileage.
The Aston Martin Vantage generally aligns with performance car reliability trends, with headlamp and engine management issues being the most frequent MOT failure points.
