Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on May 21, 2026, at 5,868 miles which recorded zero defects. The maintenance trend remains remarkably stable over the last six years, with the car consistently passing inspections without any advisories or failures. No recurring mechanical or structural issues have emerged from the documented testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 587 miles per year. Between June 2022 and May 2026, the car covered only 1,017 miles, indicating it sits for long periods. The gap between the November 2020 test and June 2022 test shows a similar pattern of infrequent use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks related to fluid degradation and component seizure that a standard MOT test cannot fully detect. Because the record lacks any flagged faults or advisories, a buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components prone to long-term storage. The tester should check for flat-spotting on the tyres and surface corrosion on the brake discs which occur when not used regularly. The suspension bushings and rubber seals should close inspected for cracking or perish due to age rather than mechanical wear. Additionally, the brake fluid and engine oil must be verified to ensure they have not absorbed moisture or degraded despite the low mileage recorded.

Our Verdict

This is a strongly recommended purchase for a buyer seeking a low-mileage, well-kept Ferrari California T. The consistent clean MOT history across five tests shows no recorded defects and very limited annual use.

Given the spotless MOT record, your main focus should be verifying the service history with a Ferrari main dealer or recognised specialist, as these cars require timed interval servicing regardless of low mileage. Negotiate on the basis of the very low 5,868-mile figure, but be aware that California T values are strongly influenced by specification and condition rather than mileage alone. Confirm the cambelt and fluid intervals have been observed even though usage has been light, as elapsed time matters more than miles on a 2016 example.
