How reliable is the Lamborghini Aventador compared with other cars?

We do not publish a comparison for the Lamborghini Aventador, because the cars of this model that have been tested do not cover a wide enough range of ages and mileages. Its raw pass rate is 96.6% across 524 tests, but comparing a raw rate between models mostly ranks them by how new they are rather than how good they are. The failure and advisory patterns further down the page are still drawn from real tests and are worth reading.

What is the most common MOT failure on a Lamborghini Aventador?

The item recorded most often is "Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction", which appears in 66.7% of failed Lamborghini Aventador tests. Because one failed test can list several items, these shares do not add up to 100%.

What do testers most often warn about on a Lamborghini Aventador?

The most common advisory is "A tyre seriously damaged", noted on 6.8% of all Lamborghini Aventador tests. An advisory is not a failure: it flags something that will likely need attention before the next test.

What mileage does a Lamborghini Aventador usually have at its MOT?

The average odometer reading recorded at test is 12,997 miles. This is the mileage across all tested examples of every age, not an annual figure, so treat it as a description of the fleet rather than a target for one car.

Model reliability file

Lamborghini Aventador MOT pass rate & common failures

From 524 recorded MOT tests of the Lamborghini Aventador, published by DVSA.

Data updated 29 July 2026

Quick answer

Across 524 MOT tests, 96.6% of Lamborghini Aventador tests ended in a pass. This figure is not adjusted for age or mileage, so it is not a reliability ranking: the Lamborghini Aventador fleet does not yet cover a wide enough spread of ages and distances to compare it fairly against other models. Its most commonly recorded failure is engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction, which appears in 66.7% of failed tests. Cars of this model average 12,997 miles on the odometer when tested.

96.6%unadjusted, not comparable524 tests

We are not publishing a ranking for the Aventador. The examples tested do not cover a wide enough spread of ages and mileages to compare it fairly, and an unadjusted pass rate mostly sorts models by how recently they were bought rather than how well they were built. The failure and advisory patterns below come from the same 524 tests and are worth reading on their own terms.

DVSA recorded wording

Most common failure items

Share of failed Lamborghini Aventador tests in which each item was recorded. One failed test often lists several items, so these do not sum to 100%.

1.Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction66.7%
2 occurrencesEngine management light on, or not working explained
2.Emissions test unable to be completed33.3%
1 occurrences
3.An SRS malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indicates a system malfunction33.3%
1 occurrencesAirbag warning lamp on, or airbag missing explained
4.A tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative33.3%
1 occurrencesTyre pressure monitoring system inoperative explained

Warnings without a failure

Most common advisories

Share of all Lamborghini Aventador tests carrying each advisory. The denominator differs from the failure list above because an advisory can be issued on a car that passed.

1.A tyre seriously damaged6.8%
3 testsTyre damaged or deteriorated explained
2.A tyre seriously damaged4.5%
2 testsTyre damaged or deteriorated explained
3.A shock absorber damaged to the extent that it does not function or showing signs of severe leakage2.3%

How this was worked out

Method and limits

Figures come from the DVSA anonymised MOT testing dataset, published under the Open Government Licence. Only class 4 initial tests are counted: retests are excluded so a car appears once, and abandoned tests are excluded entirely. No adjusted rate is shown because this model's tested examples do not cover enough of the national age and mileage range for standardisation to mean anything.

An MOT measures whether a car met a legal standard on the day. It is not a breakdown record, a service history or a running-cost estimate, and a pass rate is a property of a fleet rather than a prediction about one car.
