2019 Lamborghini Urus V8 — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 789 MOT tests, the 2019 Lamborghini Urus V8 recorded a 96.1% pass rate. That is 6.1 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 10.1%. Failures cluster in tyres, other defects and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (2.9%) and other defects (0.8%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, registration plates and headlamp aim — tread depth alone was recorded 17 times.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 13.7% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2019 Urus V8
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 2.9% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (2.9% 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.
- Other defects (0.8% of tests): Miscellaneous items not in the main categories. Typical repair: varies.
- Lighting & signalling (0.6% 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.
