2018 Lamborghini Gallardo

The 2018 Lamborghini Gallardo has an excellent reliability record with no widely reported common faults for this model year period.

Buying Tips for 2018 Lamborghini Gallardo

  • ✓On E-Gear models, ask for a "clutch snap" readout from a specialist to determine the exact wear percentage left on the clutch.
  • ✓Check the power steering system for leaks, a known weak point on early 5.0-litre models.
  • ✓Listen for timing chain rattle on startup; while rare on the 5.2-litre, the early 5.0-litre engines can suffer from tensioner wear.
  • ✓Verify the operation of the front suspension lift system, essential for navigating UK speed bumps.
  • ✓Inspect the Audi-sourced switchgear; the soft-touch plastics often become sticky and degrade over time.
  • ✓Ensure the air conditioning blows cold, as the compressors are known to fail and require engine-out replacement on some models.
