2009 Lamborghini Gallardo 5.2L Petrol · RX59 FKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a stable and consistent maintenance history over the past five years. The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 34,823 miles confirmed passage, though a nearside rear fluid leak was noted as non-excessive under DVSA code 8.4.1 (a) (i). This minor issue does not compromise safety or performance but indicates a need for monitoring, particularly given the age of the vehicle. No other defects were recorded in the last four tests, suggesting effective upkeep and no emerging mechanical trends. The mileage profile reflects remarkably low annual usage—approximately 2,048 miles per year since 2019—indicating either very light use or extended periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2021 test (20,533 miles) and the 2022 test (24,753 miles) shows an increase of just over 4,000 miles in one year, which is unusually high compared to the previous average. This spike may suggest a shift in usage patterns or a delayed inspection cycle, but subsequent tests show steady progress without sudden wear indicators. The absence of defects across three consecutive tests from 2023 to 2024 reinforces that the vehicle has been well-maintained during this period. Given the age and the single fluid leak noted in the latest test, a physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension components, including the trailing arms, bushings, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to degradation in long-stored vehicles. The brake system should also be examined closely, particularly the calipers and discs, to ensure there is no binding or uneven wear, especially since the fluid leak could indicate potential hydraulic system fatigue. Additionally, the condition of the exhaust system and any signs of corrosion around the chassis rails and wheel arches should be checked, as these areas are vulnerable to rust in older supercars left idle for extended periods.
