AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 resulting in a pass. The most recent 2026-06-16 test at 28,145 miles confirmed no defects, aligning with prior results. No recurring issues or advisories were recorded across the six-year history, suggesting consistent maintenance or minimal wear. The absence of critical failures in brakes, suspension, or emissions indicates the car has been well-preserved, though low mileage over 18 years warrants scrutiny for potential inactivity-related degradation. The mileage progression reveals a slow accumulation, averaging 1,564 miles annually. Notable gaps exist between 2022-04-07 (18,327 miles) and 2023-06-07 (20,055 miles), a 1,728-mile increase over 14 months, followed by a 5,232-mile jump to 25,234 miles by 2024-06-28. These fluctuations may reflect periods of intermittent use or storage, which could affect fluid longevity, battery health, and component corrosion. The lack of defects despite these patterns suggests the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though further inspection is advised to confirm internal system integrity. A buyer should prioritize checking for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as degraded fluids, stiff suspension bushes, or corrosion in underbody components. While no structural issues were flagged, the low mileage and sporadic usage history necessitate a thorough examination of the exhaust system, brake discs, and coil springs for hidden wear. The absence of advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or emissions is positive, but visual checks for dry-rotted rubber and rust penetration remain critical to validate the MOT records’ accuracy.

Our Verdict

A highly recommended example of the F430. Its exceptional MOT record and low mileage make it a standout choice for a collector or enthusiast.

Given the flawless MOT history, your primary focus should be on the service record. For a high-performance 4.3L V8, evidence of regular oil changes and a documented history of specialist maintenance is non-negotiable. Ensure the timing belts or related service intervals have been adhered to, as these are critical for this engine variant.

Negotiate based on the completeness of the original documentation and the condition of the tyres. While the MOTs are clean, high-performance tyres for this model are expensive to replace; check for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues not picked up in a standard test.

Running costs for an F430 are significant. The 4308cc engine is thirsty, and fuel economy will be low, particularly in urban environments. Insurance will be high due to the vehicle's value and performance, placing it in a top-tier insurance group.

Annual maintenance will be the primary cost driver. While this specific car has shown no defects in recent years, specialist Ferrari servicing is costly. Expect to pay a premium for genuine parts and certified labour to maintain the vehicle's provenance.

While the MOT history from 2022 to 2026 is perfectly clean, you should still perform a physical inspection of the black paintwork for stone chips and swirl marks, as dark colours show wear more easily. Check the interior leather for wear consistent with the 28,145 recorded miles.

Pay close attention to the brake discs and pads. Since the MOTs recorded no defects, the braking system is legally sound, but for a car of this performance, you should check for any lip on the discs or signs of overheating that wouldn't necessarily trigger an MOT failure but would require costly replacement.

This 2008 black Ferrari F430 is in remarkable condition, having passed its last five MOT tests with zero defects recorded. With only 28,145 miles on the clock as of June 2026, it has been used sparingly and maintained to a high standard. It represents a low-risk entry into F430 ownership due to its consistent history and low usage.

While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle's flawless MOT history suggests it has been exceptionally well-maintained.
