2014 FERRARI CALIFORNIA4.3L PETROL

The 2014 Ferrari California demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-04-15 assessment at 1,278 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical faults. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-preserved, though its extreme low mileage raises questions about long-term storage conditions. The car’s mileage of 1,278 miles over 12 years equates to roughly 106 miles annually, a rate far below typical usage. MOT records show irregular testing intervals, with gaps of 11 months between 2022-01-17 (997 miles) and 2023-03-11 (1,050 miles), followed by annual tests thereafter. This pattern may reflect infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like seals, fluids, and rubber parts. The lack of mileage progression in the records limits insight into gradual deterioration, but the clean history implies no urgent mechanical concerns. A physical inspection is critical to assess the impact of low usage. Key areas to check include dry-rotted tyres, hardened suspension bushes, and corrosion in unexposed panels. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear could develop if the car has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel gaps might go undetected in a vehicle with minimal road time. Despite the MOT record’s optimism, the car’s unique usage profile demands thorough scrutiny beyond documented tests.
