Used Aston Martin Vantage for sale in Europe

About the Aston Martin Vantage

The Aston Martin Vantage is the company's compact two-seat sports car. It has been sold as a coupe and as an open roadster, with a front-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive. It suits drivers who want a hand-assembled grand tourer that is still usable week to week, and who accept specialist servicing.

The first car in our listings, the V8 Vantage, appeared in 2005 and ran to 2018. It used a naturally aspirated V8, first 4.3-litre and later 4.7-litre. Gearboxes were a manual or an automated manual called Sportshift. A 6.0-litre V12 Vantage was added from 2009 as a rarer variant.

The second generation arrived in 2018 with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Coupe and roadster bodies were offered, and a manual was available on a small run. A substantial update followed for the 2024 model year. Specification and condition vary widely, so compare cars one by one.

What to check when buying a used Aston Martin Vantage

Inspect a used Vantage in person or through an independent specialist, and read the service file before the car. Prefer a cold start and a test drive that includes slow-speed manoeuvres.

• Sportshift gearbox wear · V8 Vantage (2005-2018)

  Cars with the automated manual gearbox can show clutch wear and rough shifts, especially if used mostly in town. Ask for clutch history, test pulling away and gear changes, and compare with a manual car if you prefer simpler mechanicals.

• Service history and specialist

  Look for a continuous record from Aston Martin dealers or recognised specialists. Check dates, mileage and work on brakes, fluids and suspension. Gaps matter on low-use cars, where age-related items can be overdue.

• Accident and bodywork checks

  Body structures use aluminium, and repairs need specialist skill. Check panel gaps, paint match and the underside for signs of repair, and ask for repair invoices. Alloy wheels, front splitters and sills are easily scuffed.

• Roof and electrics · Roadster

  Operate the roof several times, listen for noise and check seals for water ingress. Test windows, infotainment, sensors and warning lights, and ask whether the battery was kept charged during any storage.

• Software and driver aids · Vantage (2018-present)

  Test the infotainment, cameras, parking sensors and driver display. Ask whether dealer software updates were applied. Check the chassis number with an authorised dealer for open recalls or service campaigns.

• Brakes and tyres

  Check disc and pad condition, and the brand, age and wear pattern of the tyres. Uneven wear may point to track use or alignment problems. Carbon ceramic brakes, where fitted, are a specialist item, so ask for condition evidence.

• Mileage across borders

  For cars from another country, ask for documents that support the mileage, such as dated service invoices and inspection records. Check that steering side, equipment and specification match what the advert states.
