FERRARI 4882019 · 3.9L PETROL

This Ferrari 488 has a clean MOT record with no failures and only a single advisory in its history – a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit in 2024. That tyre was either replaced or wore evenly, because the subsequent MOT in 2025 and the most recent one in March 2026 passed with no defects at all. The overall condition trend is stable and appears to be improving given that the last two tests are completely clear. The mileage is very low for a 7‑year‑old car – roughly 1,010 miles per year. That could mean the car has been used sparingly or stored for long periods. For a high‑performance car like this, extended inactivity can lead to issues such as dried‑out seals, perished rubber, and brake disc corrosion, none of which are evident from the MOT history but are worth investigating in person. The low mileage does not necessarily indicate harder use than average; if anything, it suggests gentle, occasional driving or careful storage, though the recent tyre wear advisory shows the car was being used enough to wear rubber. The main risk pattern here is not about recurring faults – there are almost none – but about the potential hidden effects of under‑use. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of all rubber components (tyres, hoses, belts), check brake discs for pitting or corrosion, and verify the full service history to ensure the correct scheduled maintenance has been carried out regardless of low mileage. Also look at the condition of the rear tyres specifically, since that was the only previous concern.
