2012 Lamborghini Gallardo 5.2L Petrol · V10 LBM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of neglect. The most recent test conducted on 30 March 2026 at 45,049 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This represents a significant recovery from the January 2023 failure, as the vehicle has since undergone three consecutive clean-pass tests without any recorded defects. The mileage profile is consistently low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of use, with 2,900 miles covered between January 2024 and April 2025, and another 2,850 miles in the following year. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which may explain the emergence of the leaking shock absorber. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and tyre geometry. The 2023 failure highlighted multiple tyre-related issues, including exposed cords on the nearside rear and uneven inner wear, which suggest potential alignment problems or worn suspension bushes. Although the current MOT passed, the aforementioned misting nearside front shock requires monitoring to ensure the seal does not fail completely. Additionally, check all tyres for dry cracking due to age rather than tread depth, as low annual mileage often masks structural aging of the rubber compound.
