Our Verdict
This is an exceptionally well-maintained example of the Ferrari California, showing a pristine MOT track record. It is a highly recommended purchase for a buyer seeking a low-mileage, enthusiast-owned supercar.
When purchasing a Ferrari of this calibre, the service history is just as important as the MOT record. Ensure the car comes with a complete stamped service book or digital records from a Ferrari main dealer or a reputable specialist. Given the low mileage, verify that the car has been serviced based on time intervals, as Ferrari engines require annual maintenance regardless of how few miles they have covered.
Check for the presence of the original tool kit, battery conditioner, and both keys, as these are essential for maintaining the vehicle's future value. It is also worth confirming that the folding hardtop mechanism operates smoothly and without hesitation, as repairs to these complex systems can be costly.

Common Problems: FERRARI CALIFORNIA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Battery Voltage-Related Electrical Faults(Moderate)
Like many modern Ferraris, the California becomes noisy electronically when battery voltage drops. Cars that sit unused can throw a wide range of false warnings or behave inconsistently until the power supply is sorted.
- Retractable Hardtop and Roof Latch Faults(Moderate)
The folding roof is a major selling point but adds complexity. Hydraulic issues, sensor faults, or latch problems can leave the roof slow to operate or stuck mid-cycle.
- MagneRide Damper Seepage and Front Suspension Wear(Moderate)
These GT cars carry more weight over the front axle than Ferrari's mid-engined models, so worn bushes, tired links, or leaking dampers are not unusual on UK roads.
