FERRARI 4582015 · 4.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents as mechanically stable following the successful pass on 16 January 2026 at 157 miles. While the car failed its test on 22 November 2024 due to an illuminated engine malfunction indicator lamp, the subsequent pass just eleven days later confirms the fault was rectified promptly. This pattern suggests a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard, with no lingering defects currently recorded in the official history. The recorded mileage of 157 miles over an eleven-year lifespan is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 14 miles per annum. This indicates the vehicle has spent the vast majority of its life in long-term storage rather than active service. The MOT data remains remarkably clean, with consistent passes between June 2022 and the most recent inspection in January 2026, showing no evidence of heavy use or neglect. Extended periods of inactivity pose specific risks for a high-performance engine like the 458, particularly regarding rubber seals, gaskets, and fluid degradation. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the fuel system and cooling hoses, as these components often perish when a vehicle remains stationary for years. Furthermore, verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for signs of surface corrosion or seizure, which are common consequences of prolonged storage. Ensuring the battery health and checking for any signs of damp or electrical gremlins within the cabin will be essential given the limited usage pattern.
