1989 Ferrari Testarossa 4.9L Petrol · G160 TKH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass in the June 2025 test at 57,540 miles. This recent result indicates that the minor defects identified in May 2024 were successfully addressed and rectified. The absence of any defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the mechanical and lighting issues flagged previously have been resolved, and the car currently meets the minimum statutory road safety standards. With a recorded mileage of 57,540 miles over 37 years, the car averages a remarkably low approximately 1,555 miles per year. The data reveals a significant period of inactivity between January 2019 and June 2023, where the vehicle covered only 25 miles in four years. Since that gap, mileage has increased by 1,735 miles in roughly two years, suggesting a return to more regular use. Such low-frequency and long-term storage often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the steering system, as the 2024 failure flagged a deteriorated offside steering rack gaiter. Although this was noted as not yet allowing dirt ingress at the time, rubber gaiters on vintage Italian machinery are prone to cracking after years of sitting. The previous headlamp aim issues and lens products from 2024 also warrant a close check of the lighting assemblies and mounting integrity to ensure consistent alignment. Given the long periods of standing, a thorough review of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and tyre seals is essential to ensure that dry rot has not compromised the structural or mechanical integrity of the vehicle.
