Our Verdict
This is a strongly presented example of a 2015 Ferrari 488 with a reassuring MOT record and low mileage for its age. Unless a pre-purchase inspection reveals hidden issues, it represents a low-risk purchase in the supercar sector.
Given the vehicle's value and performance, commission an independent specialist inspection before purchase even though the MOT history is clean. Confirm the service history is complete with Ferrari main dealer or recognised specialist stamps, as gaps on a 3902cc twin-turbo V8 can materially affect value and reliability. Use the low mileage and spotless recent MOT record as leverage, but note that consumables such as tyres and brakes may still be aged rather than worn through use.

Common Problems: FERRARI 488
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Turbocharger Seal Leaks(Serious)
In rare cases, the seals in the turbochargers can fail, leading to oil being pulled into the intake or exhaust.
- Turbo Wastegate Actuator Wear(Serious)
The electronically controlled wastegate actuators on the twin IHI turbochargers can develop wear in the linkage or internal motor, leading to inconsistent boost pressure, turbo flutter sounds, and eventual loss of power. Owners report a faint fan-like flutter from the rear air intakes as an early warning sign. Complete turbo failure can follow if left unaddressed, with replacement units costing around £10,000 each.
- Oil Consumption and Carbon Buildup(Moderate)
The twin-turbo V8 can develop higher-than-expected oil consumption as mileage increases, with owners reporting up to 1 litre per 1,500 miles under hard use. Additionally, carbon buildup on the direct-injection intake valves is a known issue, requiring periodic walnut blasting to restore performance and prevent misfires.
