About the 2020 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE

The 2020 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE is a luxury with a 3982cc petrol engine. 517 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a less common model in the UK market. It ranks in the top 8% of all 2020 cars for reliability.

With an average of 14,480 miles at 6 years old, ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

2020 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE Fuel Costs

The 3982cc petrol engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 30 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,592 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 2020 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE?

Total estimated annual running cost is £2,042 170/month), broken down as £1592 fuel, £195 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 97% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.

ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE Reliability Trend

Newer ASTON MARTIN VANTAGEs show better MOT pass rates than older ones, with an average improvement of 3 percentage points.

Buying a Used 2020 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE

At 6 years old, the ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE offers good value with plenty of life remaining. Most manufacturer warranties will have expired, so a pre-purchase inspection is worth the cost. If you're flexible on year, the 2019 model has the highest pass rate at 97%.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2020 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Timing Chain / Belt

Watch out

At 6 years old, check whether the timing belt has been replaced (typically due every 5-7 years or 60,000-100,000 miles). A snapped belt can destroy the engine.

Oil Consumption

Low risk

Larger petrol engines can develop higher oil consumption as they age. Check the oil level and look for blue smoke from the exhaust.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
