Buying a used Lamborghini Aventador: what to check
These checks follow the Lamborghini Aventador’s own MOT record: the areas it fails on most often, and how that changes as the car gets older. None of them replaces a mechanic’s inspection, but they tell you where to look first.
1. Exhaust, emissions and leaks
Recorded in 71.9% of failed Lamborghini Aventador MOTs. 3.5% of tests at 6–10 years failed on exhaust, emissions and leaks, against 1.1% at 3–6 years.
Look under the car for fresh oil or coolant, and listen for blows or rattles from the exhaust. Watch for smoke from the tailpipe when the engine starts and when you accelerate.
2. Number plates and VIN
Recorded in 47.4% of failed Lamborghini Aventador MOTs. 2.2% of tests at 6–10 years failed on number plates and vin, against 0.5% at 3–6 years.
Match the registration plates and the VIN (usually at the base of the windscreen and on a door pillar) to the V5C.
3. Lights and electrics
Recorded in 38.6% of failed Lamborghini Aventador MOTs. Rare on young cars, but 2.0% of tests at 6–10 years failed on lights and electrics.
Walk round with the lights on: headlights (dipped and main), indicators, brake lights, fog light and number-plate lamp. Check the dashboard warning lights come on with the ignition, then go out once the engine starts.
4. Tyres
Recorded in 7.0% of failed Lamborghini Aventador MOTs.
Check tread depth across the whole width of every tyre, including the inner edge. Uneven wear can point to alignment or suspension problems. Look for cuts and bulges in the sidewalls.
5. Wheels
Recorded in 3.5% of failed Lamborghini Aventador MOTs.
Look for cracked or badly buckled wheels, and check wheel nuts or bolts are all present.
Check the car’s own MOT history. Averages describe the model, not the car in front of you. Look up its registration for past failures, advisories that were never fixed, and gaps or dips in the recorded mileage.
Ask for the service history. Invoices show what was done and when; a stamp alone shows less. See how to check Lamborghini service history and what a service history check can tell you.
