About the 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo
The 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo is a luxury car. Our records list a 5204cc petrol engine, though engines vary between versions. 132 MOT tests were recorded on this model in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It ranks in the top 4% of all 2013 models for MOT pass rate.
With an average of 22,682 miles recorded at its 2024 MOT tests, Lamborghini Gallardo owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Fuel Costs
The 5204cc petrol engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. Expect around 30 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,958 per year with petrol at 174.57p per litre (GOV.UK weekly average, week of 19 October 2026; based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo?
Total estimated annual running cost is £3,003 (£250/month), broken down as £1,958 fuel, £790 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 98% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.

The Lamborghini Gallardo has maintained consistent MOT pass rates across model years, varying by only 3 percentage points.
Buying a Used 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo
At 13 years old, the Lamborghini Gallardo is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2009 model has the highest pass rate at 100%.
Common Issues to Watch For
These are typical issues for cars of this age, fuel type and engine size, not faults recorded on this model's MOT tests. Use them as a checklist when you view one.
Timing Chain / Belt
Watch outAt 13 years old, check whether the timing belt has been replaced (typically due every 5-7 years or 60,000-100,000 miles). A snapped belt can destroy the engine.
Oil Consumption
Medium riskLarger petrol engines can develop higher oil consumption as they age. Check the oil level and look for blue smoke from the exhaust.
Rust and Corrosion
Watch outAt 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.
Suspension Bushings
Watch outRubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.
Service History
Low riskAlways request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
