2001 Ferrari 456 5.5L Petrol · A9 NRR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 7 October 2025 at 23,638 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five tests suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and that the mechanical and structural components currently operate within the parameters of the DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-five-year-old vehicle, averaging fewer than a thousand miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2022 at 20,811 miles and August 2023 at 23,263 miles, where the car covered only 2,452 miles over seventeen months. Since July 2024, usage has remained minimal, with only 103 miles recorded annually. This low frequency indicates the car is likely stored for long periods, which often presents specific risks related to stagnation rather than mechanical wear and tear. While the MOT record shows no failures, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection for issues associated with low-mileage storage. The inspector should check for perished rubber components, including suspension bushes, split tyre boots, and degraded engine seals that suffer from lack of movement. The braking system requires close attention for binding calipers and discs, as seizing or corrosion is common when vehicles remain stationary. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for hidden corrosion, as MOT testers only inspect accessible areas.
