Lamborghini Aventador (2016)
2016 Lamborghini Aventador
CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2016 Lamborghini Aventador. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Lamborghini Aventador is remarkably reliable for a supercar, passing its MOT on the first attempt 95.9% of the time—well above the UK average of 80%—with zero dangerous defects recorded across all 129 vehicles tested. This is a genuinely trouble-free reliability picture for such an exotic machine.
These Aventadors are running at very low mileage for their age, averaging just 6,254 miles, which explains why they're encountering almost no failures (0.26 per vehicle on average) and minimal advisories. If you're buying one, low mileage is practically guaranteed, but verify full service history and confirm that the engine management and suspension have been properly maintained despite the light use—these systems can suffer from inactivity just as much as hard driving.
What to check before buying a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
