Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2016 Lamborghini Huracan?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2016 Lamborghini Huracan?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2016 Lamborghini Huracan?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

The 2016 Lamborghini Huracán passes its first MOT at an exceptional 97.0%, far outpacing the UK average of 80%, with only 5.9% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect—making it one of the most reliable supercars on test. These cars run low mileage for their age (median 15,005 miles), which partly explains the clean sheet, but even accounting for that, the 0.22 average failures per vehicle is genuinely impressive for a high-performance machine.

The real-world picture is straightforward: expect minimal mechanical surprises in the first few years of ownership, and budget for routine servicing rather than major repairs. Before buying, verify the full service history meticulously, as these cars demand precision maintenance and specialist attention to justify their MOT record.

We have limited data for the 2016 Lamborghini Huracan — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.
