1989 Ferrari 328 3.2L Petrol · F497 UMP

The 1989 Ferrari 328 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 22 August 2025 at 55,331 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 37-year-old vehicle. Between the 10 August 2021 test at 54,422 miles and the 22 August 2025 test at 55,331 miles, the car covered just 909 miles, an average of roughly 227 miles per year. The 2024 and 2025 entries show only 239 and 239 miles added respectively, confirming long periods of standing rather than active driving. The clean record carries no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, though sparse annual increments limit insight into component fatigue from regular operation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the low annual mileage and likely extended storage periods. Dormant Ferraris of this era commonly develop perished rubber components and seized brake mechanisms even when MOT tests show clean results. Structural corrosion around chassis rails and floor pans warrants close examination despite the absence of advisories in the record. The flat-twelve era Ferrari bodies demand scrutiny for hidden rust that short test drives may not expose. Verify the integrity of exhaust emissions hardware and confirm brake disc condition before purchase.
