Lamborghini Urus common MOT failures and failure rate

What a Lamborghini Urus fails its MOT on, from real DVSA test data, and the part that resolves each item.

Based on 3,547 MOT tests in DVSA data.

About 4.5% of MOT tests recorded on the Lamborghini Urus in DVSA data end in a failure. The same handful of items account for most of them.

Its most common failure is tyres, which makes up 60.1% of the Lamborghini Urus's failures, followed by tyres, registration plate, visibility/wipers, exhaust & emissions. Each item below links to the part that resolves it. Confirm the exact fitment against your registration or VIN before buying, and have safety-critical work done by a competent mechanic.

What it fails on, and why

Tyres60.1% of failures

Tyres fail for tread below the 1.6mm legal limit across the central three-quarters, uneven or exposed-cord wear, or sidewall damage. The tester inspects all four; a single illegal tyre is a fail.

Registration plate8.2% of failures

A missing, damaged, dirty or incorrectly-spaced number plate, or one using the wrong font, will fail. A replacement plate is inexpensive.

Visibility/wipers7.0% of failures

Visibility failures include torn or smearing wiper blades, a washer jet that does not reach the screen, and chips or cracks in the driver's swept area. Blades and washer fluid are quick, cheap fixes.

Exhaust & emissions5.7% of failures

Exhaust failures cover leaks, insecure mountings and emissions over the limit. A blowing exhaust, a failed lambda reading or a diesel that smokes beyond the limit will fail.

Other5.7% of failures

This covers a range of smaller items, from a non-working horn to a warning light left on.

Lamps & electrical5.1% of failures

Lighting is the single most common MOT failure and the cheapest to put right. A blown headlight, brake-light or number-plate bulb, a cracked lens, or a headlamp beam that points too high or low will all fail. Most are a two-minute bulb swap.

Failure rate by year

How the MOT failure rate varies by the car's year of first registration (older examples generally fail more as wear sets in).

20184.3% fail · 399 tests
20194.5% fail · 965 tests
20205.9% fail · 698 tests
20214.3% fail · 658 tests
20223.9% fail · 540 tests
20232.2% fail · 273 tests
