FERRARI CALIFORNIA2009 · 4.3L PETROL

The June 2026 MOT at 16,099 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle's current roadworthy status. Maintenance trend across the available history shows a stable and resolving pattern. The tester failed the car in September 2020 at 14,600 miles on perishing front tyres and ineffective windscreen wipers, but the owner corrected these within ten days for a pass. Subsequent tests in June 2023 and June 2026 noted only minor tyre perishing that did not constitute failure. No structural, brake, or suspension advisories have ever been raised. The odometer shows 16,099 miles against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 947 miles per year. Gaps between tests are informative: the car covered only 642 miles between the December 2018 pass at 13,962 miles and the September 2020 failure at 14,600 miles, then just 232 miles to the June 2023 pass at 15,832 miles, and 267 miles to the June 2026 test. Such low annual accumulation points to infrequent use and likely prolonged static periods. The sparse record contains no drivetrain or corrosion concerns, but the limited mileage means wear is dominated by age rather than distance. Recurring tyre perishing across the 2020, 2023 and 2026 entries indicates the previous owners stored the car for extended spells, allowing sidewall rubber to crack despite low tread wear. The 2020 test flagged both windscreen wipers failing to clear the screen, suggesting basic consumable upkeep was skipped until forced. A buyer should physically inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and confirm manufacture dates, verify wiper blade operation, and given the standing periods, examine brake discs for corrosion, test calipers for binding, and check suspension bushes for age-related deterioration.
