•Request full documented service history from authorised Lamborghini dealer, verify no gaps
•Perform a compression and leak-down test on all 10 cylinders to check top-end condition
•Conduct a full factory-level diagnostic scan (ODIS or equivalent) to surface any stored fault codes
•Inspect for any signs of amateur tuning or ECU modification which can cause expensive electronic damage
•Check actual usage pattern, low-mileage cars stored frequently require fluid and seal inspection regardless of km
•Verify clutch condition and transmission service history if fitted with E-gear or dual-clutch unit
•Confirm which power variant and driveline configuration you are buying (RWD vs AWD) as this affects clutch wear patterns and resale expectations

Valve train top-end components
Borescope and compression check every major service; budget for top-end refresh at high mileage
80,000-120,000 km
E-gear / dual-clutch transmission (where fitted)
Inspect clutch wear and fluid condition; replacement is very expensive if neglected
40,000-80,000 km
Brake fluid and caliper seals
Flush brake fluid annually regardless of mileage; inspect caliper seals on low-use examples

The 5.2 V10 block and internals are essentially unchanged across every power output, the differences come from ECU tuning, intake, and exhaust rather than major mechanical revisions, so the hp figure itself does not indicate a reliability difference. What matters far more is drivetrain type and use history: AWD versions (LP610-4, Evo) put less sustained stress on the clutch than RWD track cars, and an STO or Performante that has seen regular track days will show more wear on clutch and brakes than a gently driven LP610-4 with the same mileage. Prioritize full service history and clutch condition over which variant name is on the badge.
