The Aston Martin Vanquish is an exciting front-engine sports car with a polished yet powerful look. Its sleek exterior design conceals sharp steering and the high-quality craftsmanship you'd expect from a top-quality make. Used models, both from its early 2000s debut and the 2012-2018 second generation, combine a unique, striking appearance with the convenient luxury features discerning drivers crave. The trade-offs for the dramatic, eye-catching design and surprisingly smooth ride are space and price – there's limited rear seating and the higher running costs are something to consider. But for the right driver, the Aston Martin Vanquish easily conquers rivals like the Bentley Continental GT and Ferrari 12Cilindri.

High purchase and running costsNo conventional rear seats – not for the school runSmall boot space compared to its rivalsUsed Aston Martin Vanquish models include standard safety features like anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control and front airbags. Higher trim levels add lane departure warnings, rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera.
All Aston Martin Vanquish cars have V12 engines, originally with brake horsepower (bhp) between 420 and 460, depending on the trim. Later 2000s models upped this to the low 500s, and the second generation (2012-2018) features a 6.0-litre naturally-aspirated V12 with up to 595 bhp.
The second-generation Vanquish features Bluetooth connectivity, Apple and Android compatibility, wireless charging, USB connections (though not the smaller USB-C ports) and a touchscreen the size of a tablet. Earlier models suffice with a CD player and a thumping sound system.
The Vanquish is a sports car, so it was never really about fuel efficiency. The oldest models give you around 15 mpg, with the second generation increasing this to around 20. This means petrol prices are definitely going to factor into your running costs.
You should look for a regular service history and evidence of gentle use, especially regarding tyres, brakes and the infotainment system. The convertible Vanquish (the Volante) needs a careful roof check. Consider The AA Vehicle Inspection for added peace of mind.
The Aston Martin Vanquish is a complex, high-performance car. Regular maintenance and specialist servicing will help keep it running reliably. But remember, costs can be above average for routine work and parts.
