The 2017 Lamborghini Aventador passes its MOT on the first attempt 97.1% of the time—dramatically better than the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 1.0%. This is a genuinely reliable supercar by MOT standards, with petrol models achieving a 98.1% pass rate.

These cars are running genuinely low mileage for their age, averaging just 7,755 miles, which partly explains the stellar pass rate; they're garaged toys rather than daily drivers. When failures do occur they're rare (0.14 per vehicle), though advisories are more common at 0.8 per car, typically minor wear items. If you're buying one, request full service history and a pre-purchase inspection focused on brake fluid condition and clutch wear, since supercar maintenance gaps can hide expensive problems even in low-mileage examples.
