1961 Ferrari 250SWB 3.0L Petrol · 406 UXU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT on 11 April 2025 at 53,965 miles with zero defects recorded. Falling just over a year prior to the current date, this test remains relatively recent, though a fresh inspection would confirm the current state. Lacking prior test data, the maintenance trend relies entirely on this single clean pass, demonstrating sound mechanical condition at the time of inspection. The absence of advisories or failures suggests diligent upkeep by the current custodian. Averaging roughly 830 miles annually over its 65-year lifespan, the odometer reading of 53,965 miles reflects exceptionally light use. The recorded mileage aligns exactly with the April 2025 test figure, though the sparse history prevents tracking accumulation rates across previous years. Such low annual mileage typically indicates careful, occasional driving rather than daily use, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce their own mechanical concerns. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from low mileage and long-term storage. Examine the brake calipers for seized pistons and the discs for surface corrosion, as infrequent use often causes binding and pitting. Assess the suspension bushes and dampers for perishing or fluid leaks, and closely inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking rather than tread depth. A thorough evaluation of the underbody and chassis rails remains essential to rule out structural corrosion, which can compromise the vehicle's integrity regardless of its low mileage.
