2017 FERRARI 4883.9L Petrol

The 2017 Ferrari 488 holds a fully roadworthy status per the latest DVSA examination. In the April 2025 test at 15,897 miles the tester passed the car with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, evidenced by five consecutive annual passes between 2021 and 2025 with zero mechanical or structural flags. Odometer data reveals a low-use pattern typical of limited-mileage prestige cars. From the April 2021 test at 8,897 miles to the April 2025 test at 15,897 miles the vehicle added only 7,000 miles, averaging about 1,750 miles per year. Each subsequent test fell within a few weeks of the prior year's date, showing no gaps or sudden accumulation. This consistent, light mileage implies careful seasonal use, though extended standing intervals may mask aged fluids and hardened rubber components not captured by the MOT scope. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of items the pass certificates did not scrutinise. The April 2023 test at 13,211 miles and earlier examinations recorded no corrosion on structural integrity, yet dormant storage can promote hidden rust at chassis mounting points; check suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation. Brake discs and calipers demand attention for binding or surface pitting after sparse use, as the clean April 2022 result at 10,969 miles does not confirm long-term rotor condition. Exhaust emissions should be verified given infrequent engine warm-up cycles. The previous keeper's record of punctual, fault-free tests suggests disciplined maintenance rather than neglected consumables. Low mileage does not suspend age-related wear; examine tyre sidewalls for cracking and replace engine fluids irrespective of the unblemished MOT history.
