1987 FERRARI MONDIAL3.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently without a valid MOT certificate, as the most recent test dates back to June 2022. While that specific inspection at 69,317 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, the four-year gap since that test means the current roadworthiness status is unknown. There is no data to establish a maintenance trend, leaving it unclear whether the vehicle has been maintained or left dormant. The recorded mileage of 69,317 miles is exceptionally low for a 1987 model, averaging roughly 1,777 miles per year. The fact that the mileage remained static at 69,317 between the 2022 test and the present date suggests the car has been standing for several years. Long periods of inactivity often introduce mechanical issues that a standard MOT might miss, such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and degraded fuel. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and bodywork for corrosion, as these models are susceptible to structural rust. Given the prolonged period of inactivity, the braking system requires a full check for binding calipers and pitted brake discs. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or failure caused by lack of use. The engine and drivetrain need a comprehensive review to ensure the oil has not slumped and the cooling system remains leak-free. Particular attention should be paid to the tyres, as they may have developed flat spots or perished due to age regardless of the remaining tread depth. A fresh fluid analysis and a cold-start test are essential to verify the mechanical integrity of the vehicle after such a long hiatus.
