Our Verdict
This 2015 Ferrari California in grey presents as a well-maintained, low-mileage example and is a confident buy for those seeking an entry-level prestige convertible. The unbroken sequence of five consecutive MOT passes with no defects recorded is a strong indicator of sound condition.
Given the clean MOT history with no failures or advisories across five years, focus your negotiation on service history rather than outstanding defects — confirm the Ferrari main dealer or specialist servicing is documented at the correct intervals. The 3855cc V8 will require cam belt and fluid services per schedule, so verify these are up to date before purchase. As no aggregate reliability data exists for the California, rely on the individual history here and a pre-purchase inspection by a Ferrari-trained technician.
Running a 2015 Ferrari California will be considerably more expensive than a mainstream vehicle, with high fuel consumption from the 3.855-litre petrol engine and a top road tax band due to emissions. Insurance will sit in a high group befitting a prestige sports car, and specialist maintenance costs are significant even at low annual mileages. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance is likely in the region of £4,000-£6,000 given limited use of around 2,000 miles per year.
The MOT history shows no failure types to investigate, so inspection should centre on wear not captured by MOT — check the condition of the convertible roof mechanism, tyres, and brake discs given the car's age and low usage. Verify the 21,142-mile odometer reading matches service records and that no gaps exist in the mileage progression from 14,818 in 2021 to 21,142 in 2025. As this is a grey 2015 example, also assess paintwork and interior trim for storage-related issues such as UV or moisture damage from infrequent use.
The vehicle shows a recorded mileage of 21,142 at its most recent MOT in November 2025, having covered only around 1,900 miles in the prior year. Every MOT from 2021 to 2025 has passed with no defects noted, suggesting careful ownership and limited use. As a September 2015 registered 3.855-litre petrol California, it sits at notably below-average mileage for a ten-year-old car of this type.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ferrari California, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history of clean passes.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
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.
