Looking at a Vanquish?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Vanquish is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Vanquish disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 1,281 in 2019 Q2 and stand at 1,127 in 2026 Q1, down 12%. That is up 2% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 477 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 1,604 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel

DfT codes every vehicle in the Aston Martin Vanquish generic-model group as petrol.

Vanquish MOT pass rate

In 2024, 93.2% of 1,372 Aston Martin Vanquish MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 94.8% of cars aged 6–9 years passed first time, against 88.8% aged 15–30 years.

  • Headlamp Aim — 1.2% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
  • Brake Performance — 1.1% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Anti-roll Bars — 0.9% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
  • Steering Linkage Components — 0.8% of tests. Worn track rod ends or joints. Affects steering and tyre wear, and is a normal age-related repair.

  • Steering Linkage Components — 0.8% of tests in 2024. Worn track rod ends or joints. Affects steering and tyre wear, and is a normal age-related repair.
  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 1,604 Vanquish vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (477 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
