2018 Lamborghini Huracan — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2018 Lamborghini Huracan passed 97.9% of its 1,099 recorded MOT tests. That is 8.9 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 11.0%. Failures cluster in other defects, tyres and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — other defects (3.0%) and tyres (0.6%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are registration plates, tyre pressure monitoring system and headlamp — registration plates alone was recorded 47 times.
The trend is improving — the fail rate fell from 4.9% in 2021 to 0.9% in 2025, as the worst-kept examples leave the fleet.

What to check before buying a 2018 Huracan
On a 2018 Huracan, other defects is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 3.0% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Other defects (3.0% of tests): Miscellaneous items not in the main categories. Typical repair: varies.
- Tyres (0.6% 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.
