2012 Lamborghini Gallardo 5.2L Petrol · V10 GXR

The Gallardo presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 26,874 miles, where it passed with zero defects. This clean sheet marks a clear step up from the previous two years, when recurring minor advisories and straightforward failures were logged. The trajectory suggests the last owner addressed the niggling issues promptly, leaving the car in a well-sorted state at the point of its latest successful test. The mileage pattern tells a story of very light, carefully managed use. The car covered only 473 miles between the November 2024 test at 26,401 miles and the November 2025 test at 26,874 miles, and just 560 miles between the August 2023 test at 25,841 miles and the following year's test. Averaging roughly 1,920 miles per year over its fourteen-year life, this is exceptionally low. Such restrained use typically preserves mechanical components but can mask issues linked to long periods of inactivity, particularly with rubber seals, brake surface corrosion, and fluid condition. The 2024 test flagged a minor oil leak around the oil pump area, noted as not excessive. While this did not recur in the 2025 test, it warrants a physical inspection of the oil pump seal and the surrounding sump area for fresh weeping or residue. The repeated registration plate and headlamp aim issues in late 2024 point to simple administrative oversights rather than structural faults, but a buyer should still verify the security of all lighting units and the condition of the front subframe mounts given the car's low-speed, high-value usage profile. Beyond the recorded defects, the MOT history lacks any advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, which is encouraging for a mid-engined supercar of this age. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough underbody inspection for stone damage, exhaust system integrity, and any signs of fluid degradation in the brake and cooling systems, as prolonged standing can accelerate moisture ingress and seal hardening even on a car that appears cosmetically and mechanically sound on paper.
