MOT Roadworthiness: Below Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.

Common Problems: LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- eGear Clutch and Actuator Wear(Serious)
The automated manual transmission uses a single-plate clutch and a hydraulic actuator. Stop-start traffic and reversing uphill are the primary killers of these clutches.
- Oil Pump and Coolant Pipe Leaks(Serious)
Pre-LP models can suffer from oil pump failure or coolant leaks from the "V" of the engine as hoses perish.
- Leaking Nose Lift Shocks(Moderate)
The hydraulic system that raises the front to clear speed bumps can leak fluid from the shocks.
- Electrical Gremlins and Sensor Failures(Moderate)
Early Gallardos (2003–2008) are particularly prone to intermittent electrical issues, including random dashboard warning lights, sensor malfunctions, pixel failures in the instrument cluster LCD, and dry solder joints on the main relay board causing intermittent no-start conditions. The battery draws significant parasitic current even when parked and can drain in as little as two weeks.
- Excessive Oil Consumption(Moderate)
The 5.0L and 5.2L V10 engines can develop higher-than-expected oil consumption as they age, particularly around valve cover gaskets and camshaft seals. The engine can consume up to 1 litre per 1,000 miles if gaskets have deteriorated. Oil leaks from the valley of the V can drip onto the undertray, making them hard to spot visually.
