Our Verdict

This 2009 Ferrari California offers iconic status but requires careful inspection of its suspension, tyres, and electrical systems. The recent MOT pass is encouraging, but past failures suggest potential hidden costs.

Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection of the rear suspension, focusing on the nearside rear shock absorber leaks noted in 2024-2025 MOTs. Check for documented repairs to the offside front and rear tyres, which showed repeated damage. Verify service history for the track rod end play and electrical faults (parking brake, direction indicators) from 2023. Negotiate based on the need for potential suspension and tyre replacements, and request full repair records for past failures.
