Known faults for Ferrari Ferrari California / California T
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Excellent
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
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.
