Known faults for Lamborghini Lamborghini Aventador
Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.

Our Verdict
Recommend proceeding with purchase, as t
When evaluating this Aventador, request a full service history to confirm that the low mileage is genuine and that any tyre work has been addressed since the last MOT. Verify that the tyre cracking noted in the January 2022 test has been remedied, as tyre condition is critical on high‑performance vehicles. Consider negotiating on the price to reflect the advisory items and the lack of model‑specific reliability statistics.
Given the exotic nature of the car, ensure that any previous owners have kept up with manufacturer‑recommended servicing, especially for the V12 engine and the complex electronic systems. Check for any extended warranty or maintenance plan that may still be in force, as these can mitigate future repair costs. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s registration and documentation match the MOT records to avoid discrepancies in mileage reporting.
The Aventador’s 6.5‑litre V12 engine delivers modest fuel economy, typically around 12‑14 mpg combined, leading to high fuel expenses. As a high‑performance vehicle, it falls into the highest road‑tax band (often exceeding £1,500 per year) and sits in a top insurance group, resulting in annual premiums that can easily surpass £3,000. Routine maintenance, including specialist servicing, tyre replacement, and brake wear, can cost several thousand pounds each year. Overall, owners should anticipate total annual running costs in the region of £12,000‑£15,000.
These figures reflect the premium nature of the supercar and should be weighed against the vehicle’s low mileage and condition when budgeting for ownership.
Inspect the tyres closely, focusing on the areas flagged in the January 2022 MOT (nearside rear and offside front) for cracking or perishing tread, and confirm that they have been replaced or repaired to a satisfactory standard. Verify that the registration plate lamp is securely fitted and functional, addressing the earlier insecure mounting note.
Examine the overall bodywork for any signs of repair or paint mismatch, which can indicate previous accidents not captured by MOT records. Pay particular attention to the carbon‑fiber components and the under‑tray for any corrosion or impact damage. Finally, assess the engine bay for oil leaks, coolant levels, and the condition of belts and hoses, as high‑output engines require diligent maintenance.
If possible, arrange a pre‑purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Lamborghini supercars to uncover any model‑specific issues that may not appear in MOT data.
The 2018 Lamborghini Aventador in grey has logged only about 1,400 miles and has passed five consecutive MOT tests, with no failures recorded. Recent MOTs note only minor tyre surface issues and an insecure front registration lamp, which are advisory rather than safety‑critical. While the low mileage and recent testing are positive, the absence of aggregate reliability data for this model and the inherent high running costs of a supercar should be factored into the decision.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Lamborghini Aventador, so broader model reliability cannot be quantified.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- ISR Clutch Wear and Calibration Issues(Serious)
The Aventador uses a single-clutch automated manual rather than a dual-clutch gearbox, so heavy traffic, repeated reversing, and poor calibration can accelerate clutch wear or make the car unpleasant to drive.
- Oil and Coolant Seepage (High Heat)(Moderate)
The massive V12 generates immense heat, which can eventually degrade rubber seals and plastic connectors in the cooling and oil systems.
- Nose-Lift and Front Suspension Hydraulic Leaks(Moderate)
The front lift system is extremely useful on UK roads but adds hydraulic complexity. Leaks or tired components can leave the car slow to raise, noisy, or sitting unevenly.
- Electrical and Sensor Faults(Moderate)
The Aventador's complex electronics are prone to intermittent warning lights, sensor failures, and infotainment malfunctions. The parasitic battery drain is significant — the 12V battery can flatten in 1–2 weeks of sitting, which cascades into multiple false ECU errors and can prevent the ISR gearbox from shifting to neutral.
