Lamborghini Aventador (2018)
2018 Lamborghini Aventador
CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2018 Lamborghini Aventador. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2018 Lamborghini Aventador posts a 95.8% first-time pass rate, well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and a dangerously low defect rate of just 3.9%—this is a car that either gets meticulous maintenance or simply doesn't go wrong. The median mileage of 7,657 miles for a six-year-old supercar tells you these are carefully cherished machines, not daily drivers, which explains both the exceptional reliability and the minimal failure history.
Most owners encounter less than one failure per vehicle and around one advisory on average, suggesting that when issues do arise, they're typically minor wear items rather than systemic problems. If you're considering one, check the maintenance records obsessively—at this price point and with this mileage profile, any gap in service history is a red flag.
What to check before buying a 2018 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.
