2013 FERRARI 458 ITALIA DCT S-A4.5L Petrol

The vehicle maintains an exemplary roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 13,441 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. This trend suggests the vehicle has been kept to high standards and avoids the typical mechanical degradation seen in higher-mile examples. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,034 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between June 2022 at 8,433 miles and July 2023 at 10,168 miles, where the car covered only 1,735 miles in fourteen months. However, usage has become more consistent recently, with 199 miles recorded between April 2025 and January 2026. This low-frequency usage suggests the car is likely treated as a collector or seasonal item rather than a daily driver. A prospective buyer should focus on specific risks associated with low-mileage storage rather than standard mechanical wear. While the MOT records show no structural corrosion or brake issues, long periods of standing can lead to dry seals, perished rubber bushings, and seized brake calipers. An in-person inspection must check for sidewalling on the tyres and ensure the brake fluids have not degraded from moisture absorption. Given the low mileage, the condition of the DCT clutch components should also be verified, as these parts can sometimes suffer more from time and heat than distance.
