2016 Lamborghini Aventador 6.5L Petrol · 18 MA

The most recent DVSA MOT conducted on 2 July 2026 returned a Pass with no recorded defects, and the preceding five‑year MOT record shows a consistent series of passes with no advisory or failure entries. This uninterrupted clean history indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies the statutory safety and emissions criteria, and there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend in the core systems inspected at MOT. At ten years old the Aventador has logged only 16,210 miles, equating to an average of roughly 1,620 miles per annum. Such low utilisation suggests the car has spent considerable periods at rest rather than being driven regularly. While limited mileage reduces wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch plates and tyre tread, prolonged stationary periods can accelerate age‑related degradation of rubber, battery cells and corrosion‑prone components, especially if the vehicle has not been stored in a climate‑controlled environment. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the condition of the tyres, inspecting the sidewalls for cracking, hardening or dry‑rot that can occur after five to six years regardless of tread depth. Verify that the 12‑volt auxiliary battery and the high‑voltage hybrid system have been periodically topped up and tested for capacity, as standing for long intervals can lead to sulphation and reduced cranking performance. Examine all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the hydraulic fluid for the active aerodynamics – for correct levels, colour and any signs of moisture ingress; fluids over ten years old should be replaced even if mileage is low, as thermal breakdown and moisture absorption can compromise lubrication and corrosion protection. A thorough visual and tactile inspection of the suspension and steering assemblies is advisable; check the condition of the carbon‑fiber monocoque mounting points, the aluminium uprights and the adaptive dampers for any evidence of oil leakage, worn bushings or loose mounting bolts that can manifest as clunking or uneven handling. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, pitting or uneven wear that may have developed during inactivity, and confirm that the calipers move freely without binding. Finally, review the full service history for documented timing‑belt or chain inspections, engine oil changes and any software updates to the vehicle’s electronic control units, as these records will confirm that the high‑performance powertrain has been cared for in line with Lamborghini’s prescribed intervals.
