2021
In 2021, Aberdein moved to the LMP2 class of the European Le Mans Series, competing alongside Tom Gamble and Philip Hanson at United Autosports. With four podiums, including a win at the season-ending race in Portugal, the trio ended up finishing second in the standings. As well as that, the South African joined the team for the 24 Hours of Le Mans together with Nico Jamin and Manuel Maldonado, though the race would conclude in a retirement due to a crash with the sister United car caused by Maldonado.

2022
2022 saw Aberdein team up with Ed Jones and Oliver Rasmussen to drive for Jota Sport in the World Endurance Championship. Following a fifth place at Sebring, the team would be forced to retire at Spa-Francorchamps. The team bounced back strongly at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing third in class and joining the sister car, which took victory, on the podium. Aberdein, Jones, and Rasmussen took another third place at the penultimate race in Fuji, eventually ending up sixth in the teams' standings.

2023
Aberdein's 2023 season was made up by a full-season effort in the ELMS. Competing in the LMP2 class for Inter Europol Competition, Aberdein drove alongside Olli Caldwell and Rui Andrade in the team's #43 entry.
