Lamborghini Urus common problems and MOT failures
What goes wrong on a used Lamborghini Urus, year by year: known faults from UK buying guides, the parts flagged at MOT more than on other cars (from 885 MOTs done during 2025), and what to check before you buy one.
Pick the year
Most years have their own guide. The year is when the car was first registered (it’s on the logbook, or check the reg below).
What usually goes wrong with a Lamborghini Urus?
Known faults reported by owners, mechanics and UK buying guides, in our own words. Most apply to certain years or engines only, so check which the car has.
- Cars registered 2018–2024 · 2019 and 2020 model years
Fuel line fire-risk recall
Uruses from the 2019 and 2020 model years were recalled in December 2020 because quick-release connectors on the fuel lines could soften in the heat of the engine bay, a possible fire risk.
At the viewing: Check the service record shows the recall work, and run the reg through GOV.UK's free recall checker.
- Cars registered 2018–2024 · All cars
Main dealer servicing is expensive
One UK Lamborghini dealer quoted about £1,070 for the annual service and about £2,360 for the major service (plugs, air filter and gearbox oil) in 2022. Few independent specialists publish prices.
At the viewing: Ask for the full service history, ideally all at Lamborghini dealers, and check when the next major service is due.
- Cars registered 2018–2024 · All cars (standard fit)
Carbon ceramic brakes
Carbon ceramic brakes are standard, with 440mm front discs. They last well on the road but cost a lot to replace if worn or damaged.
At the viewing: Look at the discs for chips, cracks or a worn edge, and ask when the brakes were last checked.
- Cars registered 2018–2024 · All cars
Infotainment screens going dark
Owners have reported the touchscreens occasionally going blank.
At the viewing: Use both screens during the test drive: sat nav, climate and drive modes.
- Cars registered 2018–2024 · Cars with dealer-fitted soft-close doors
Soft-close doors sticking
Soft-close doors were a dealer-fitted option, and some have stuck or not dropped the window slightly as the door closes.
At the viewing: Open and close every door and watch the window drop and rise.
Lamborghini Urus MOT pass rate by year
Older cars fail more, so compare each year with all cars registered the same year.
Questions to ask the seller before buying a Lamborghini Urus
Ask before you travel to see it. A seller who knows the car will have answers, and receipts.
- Has the December 2020 fuel line recall been done, and is it in the service record?
- Has it been serviced every year at a Lamborghini dealer, and when is the next major service due?
- Have the brake discs or pads ever been replaced?
- Can I see the service history and receipts for any big jobs?
