2018 Lamborghini Aventador 6.5L Petrol · RX18 AOS

The Aventador’s most recent MOT test on 1st October 2025—just nine months ago—confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects recorded at 26,711 miles. This pattern of consecutive passes, spanning four tests from June 2022 to October 2025, suggests consistent compliance with MOT standards, though it does not preclude underlying issues not captured in the test. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies that, at the time of inspection, the vehicle met the minimum legal requirements for brakes, emissions, suspension, and structural integrity. However, the lack of any recorded defects does not equate to comprehensive maintenance; high-performance vehicles like this often require specialised servicing beyond MOT thresholds. The recorded mileage of 26,711 miles over eight years—approximately 3,339 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and class. The gaps between tests reveal a steady accumulation of just 1,528 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 2,628 miles between July 2024 and October 2025, with no evidence of rapid mileage spikes. Such low usage may indicate limited driving or prolonged periods of storage, which can accelerate wear on fluids, seals, and suspension components even in idle conditions. The consistency of the mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to aggressive driving, but it also raises questions about whether critical components like the carbon brakes, hybrid drivetrain, or high-performance suspension have been properly serviced. Given the absence of MOT-recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the hybrid drivetrain, particularly the battery and cooling system, as these are not routinely tested and can degrade silently over time. The suspension—likely featuring high-performance coil springs and rubber bushes—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Carbon-ceramic brake discs and pads, common in this model, may show uneven wear patterns if the car has been driven sporadically, and the cooling system for these brakes should be verified. Finally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and wheel arches, as even low-mileage vehicles can suffer from environmental degradation if stored unsheltered.
