2009 Ferrari F430 4.3L Petrol · BRA 555S

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT certificate issued on 29 June 2026 at 2,345 miles confirming no defects. This consistent pass rate over the last five years indicates a stable mechanical state, free from recurring failures or persistent advisories. The absence of flagged items throughout this period suggests that the vehicle has been subjected to rigorous maintenance or, at minimum, has not suffered from the common degradation often seen in high-performance machinery. The recorded mileage of 2,345 miles over a seventeen-year lifespan is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 138 miles per annum. The data shows a steady, incremental usage pattern, with the vehicle covering roughly 164 miles between the October 2022 test and the June 2026 inspection. While this low mileage suggests the car has spent significant periods in climate-controlled storage, it also implies that the vehicle has not been exercised regularly, which can lead to specific issues related to long-term inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during prolonged storage rather than high-mileage wear. Prioritise an examination of rubber components, including suspension bushes, engine mounts, and coolant hoses, as these materials can perish or harden despite the lack of road use. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of surface corrosion or seizure, as infrequent operation often prevents the hydraulic systems from cycling correctly. Verify the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking in the sidewalls, regardless of the remaining tread depth, to ensure the vehicle remains safe for road use.
