The picture
Across 3,517 MOT tests, the Urus V8 Auto returns 97.4% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is windscreen damage. Tyre tread under the limit and a seriously damaged tyre round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 28,677, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.

Year-band analysis
First-time MOT pass rate split by registration band. Pass rates barely move across bands here, so the year you buy Lamborghini Urus V8 Auto makes little measurable difference to MOT outcomes.
Best band to buy
97.4%
2021+ registration
the 2021-on band climbs to 97.4% — a 0.1-point improvement. Tests in this band average 22,959 miles — roughly 9K miles fewer on the clock than the older band. Failures here are mostly wear items: damaged but not adversely affecting driver's view, tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm — the structural issues that drag down older examples don't appear in the top-10 for this band. Post-2020 examples are early in their MOT life and generally show the cleanest records.
Band to be cautious about
97.4%
2018–2020 registration
On the 2018–2020 band, the data shows a 97.4% pass rate against a fleet average of 97.4% on the newer band. The main culprits logged at test: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm, damaged but not adversely affecting driver's view, and has a bulge, caused by separation or…. Average mileage on test for this band is 31,640 miles — high-mileage wear items are a recurring theme.
Best band to buy: 2021+ (97.4% first-time pass). Worst band to avoid: 2018-2020 (97.4% pass). That's a 0.1-point spread across 2,314 older tests and 1,203 newer ones — year of build makes a material difference on this model.
