About This Data

The 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo has an MOT pass rate of 92.2% based on 538 tests — well above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 15,964 miles on the odometer. With a 7.8% failure rate, the 2012 Gallardo is rated as "Excellent" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to noise, emissions and leaks: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help. With relatively low average mileage of 15,964 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.

Noise, emissions and leaks — 0.7% of failures

Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 0.7% of MOT failures on 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo models. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.

Identification of the vehicle — 0.6% of failures

Identification of the vehicle issues account for 0.6% of MOT failures on 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 0.6% of failures

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 0.6% of MOT failures on 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
