Expert verdict

Tyres: 3.1× the national share

Tyres make up 61.5% of everything recorded on the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador, against 19.8% nationally — 41.7 points above. Check all four tyres yourself, including the inner shoulders, and look at the date stamp — a tyre can pass on tread and still be six years old.

Beats its own age and mileage. Once you allow for how old and how far these cars have been driven, the expected pass rate is 78.6% and this one manages 98.0% — 19.4 points ahead of what its age and mileage predict.
Failures here tend to be cheap ones. 75% of the repairs this model fails on cost under £30 in parts. The pass rate matters less than what a bad afternoon at the test centre actually costs you.

Before your test

Three checks worth doing on a 2013 Aventador

These are not generic tips — they are the faults recorded most often on this exact model, rewritten as things you can check yourself. All three take about ten minutes and cost nothing.

Check the lights 2.0% of tests

“malfunction indicator lamp inoperative or indicates a malfunction”

Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

What testers look for →
Check tyre pressures and valves 1.0% of tests

“tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative”

Set the pressures to the figures on the door pillar, not the tyre wall, and check the valves do not hiss. A leaking valve is a two-minute fix that fails a test.

Shares are the proportion of tests on this vehicle that recorded the item, so they overlap: one test can record several.

What it costs to get a 2013 Aventador through its MOT

Across the 3 items that are recorded most often on this model, the average repair comes to £14–£33 — and 75% of those repairs are parts that cost under £30.

Average repair across the 3 common items: £14–£33
Cheapest common item: malfunction indicator lamp inoperative or…: £3–£12
Dearest common item: tyre pressure monitoring system…: £45–£95
Common items a careful owner can do at home: 100%
Repairs that still cost under £30: 75%
