Data from official DVSA MOT testing records
Lamborghini Aventador MOT Reliability Overview
The Lamborghini Aventador is a niche vehicle in the UK, with 3,362 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 10 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 95.5% and a failure rate of 4.5%, which is well above the UK average of approximately 37%.
Based on this data, the Lamborghini Aventador earns a "Excellent" reliability rating. The average Lamborghini Aventador presents for MOT with approximately 10,309 miles on the clock. Manufacture year matters: 2017 models achieve the highest pass rate at 98.0%, while 2015 models have the lowest at 88.5%. This 9.5 percentage point difference suggests notable variation in build quality or component durability across production years.
The most common MOT failure for the Lamborghini Aventador is Identification of the vehicle, affecting 3.1% of all tests. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. The second most common issue is Tyres at 1.9%. Noise, emissions and leaks rounds out the top three at 1.3%. Together, these top 3 failure categories account for a significant portion of all MOT failures for this model.

💡 What does the warranty cliff mean?
The Lamborghini Aventador actually sees a 25% decrease in failure rate after the warranty period. This is likely due to survivorship bias — unreliable cars are already off the road by this age. Peak failure occurs at age 9 (15.2% fail rate).
Note: pass rates may improve for very old vehicles due to survivorship bias — only well-maintained cars remain on the road.

About Lamborghini Aventador MOT Data
The Lamborghini Aventador is a niche vehicle in the UK, with 3,362 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 10 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 95.5% and a failure rate of 4.5%, which is well above the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Lamborghini Aventador owners, these results suggest a reliable vehicle that generally passes its MOT without major issues. Focus your pre-MOT checks on identification of the vehicle and tyres for the best chance of a first-time pass. Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Aventador is likely to perform.
Identification of the vehicle — 3.1% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 3.1% of MOT failures on the Lamborghini Aventador. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
Tyres — 1.9% of failures
Tyres issues account for 1.9% of MOT failures on the Lamborghini Aventador. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Noise, emissions and leaks — 1.3% of failures
Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 1.3% of MOT failures on the Lamborghini Aventador. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
