2020 Ferrari 488 Pista S-A 3.9L Petrol · 2 OKO

The Ferrari 488 Pista S-A presents a clean roadworthiness position as of the most recent DVSA test on 22 January 2026 at 6,368 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across its six-year history, with every annual test from 30 January 2023 through to January 2026 resulting in a pass and no advisories raised. A failed test on 22 January 2026 at the same mileage sits immediately before the pass on the same day; the record shows no defects logged against the failure, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally light use for a six-year-old performance car. The odometer moved from 3,636 miles at the 30 January 2023 test to 4,263 miles on 25 January 2024, then 5,302 miles on 13 January 2025, and 6,368 miles on 22 January 2026. That equates to roughly 1,000 miles per year. The sparse, defect-free record gives no sign of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals; the low annual distance suggests the car spent long periods stationary, a pattern that often precedes degraded tyres, flat-spotted rubber, or seized brake calipers despite a clean MOT sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's low-use profile and mid-engined layout. Standing time accelerates perimeter corrosion on exhaust and subframe components even when the tester records nothing. The duplicate January 2026 entries warrant a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failure was clerical and not a suppressed defect. Given the absent advisories across all five tests, no recurring mechanical trend requires correction. The previous owner clearly kept the car garaged and minimally driven. Verify fluid condition, brake binding, and tyre age in person before purchase, as these consumables degrade with time rather than miles.
