Lamborghini Aventador Problems by Year
The Lamborghini Aventador is the quintessential modern hypercar, a dramatic, wedge-shaped wedge of carbon fiber housing a ferocious naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine. In the UK, it is the ultimate statement of wealth and extravagance, offering blistering performance and an exhaust note that stops traffic. Its automated manual gearbox (ISR) is notoriously brutal at low speeds, making it a challenging car to drive smoothly in London traffic, but devastatingly effective on an open track. Reliability is surprisingly acceptable for a V12 exotic, heavily benefiting from Audi's ownership, though running and maintenance costs are astronomical. It is exclusively for the ultra-wealthy seeking the most theatrical driving experience money can buy.

- ✓The ISR gearbox is brutal; verify that the clutch has been measured for wear, as replacements run into the tens of thousands of pounds.
- ✓Check the front lifting system operates perfectly; the long front overhang will have inevitably scraped if this fails.
- ✓Inspect the carbon-ceramic brake discs for any signs of chipping or scoring, as replacements are ruinously expensive.
- ✓Ensure the V12 engine has a flawless, stamped service history from a main dealer or recognized Lamborghini specialist.
- ✓Look carefully at the bodywork and massive alloy wheels for any damage, as visibility is abysmal and parking is very difficult.
- ✓Verify the operation of all digital displays and interior electrics, which occasionally suffer from Audi-sourced gremlins.
