Lamborghini Huracan MOT pass rate & common failures
3,874 MOT tests on the Lamborghini Huracan (2014–2022) give it a 97.6% pass rate. Against all cars of a similar age (13.1% fail rate), the Huracan comes out 10.7pp better. Its most common failure areas are other defects, tyres and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — other defects (2.2%) and tyres (0.9%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are registration plates, shock absorbers and tread depth — registration plates alone was recorded 113 times.
The trend is improving — the fail rate fell from 3.5% in 2021 to 1.8% in 2025, as the worst-kept examples leave the fleet.

What to check before buying a Lamborghini Huracan
- Other defects (2.2% of tests): Miscellaneous items not in the main categories. Typical repair: varies.
- Tyres (0.9% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (0.4% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
