2019 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso V12 6.3L Petrol · BV19 HLA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent test on 2026-01-16, at 13,396 miles, where it passed with three minor advisories. The recurring issue of wheel distortion on the nearside front and rear wheels, first noted in December 2024 and again in January 2026, indicates a persistent mechanical concern that has not been resolved despite two consecutive passes. While no critical defects were found in the last two tests, the continued presence of these advisories suggests potential underlying suspension or steering alignment problems that may require investigation. The tyre condition—both rear tyres showing perishing or cracking—is also concerning given the low mileage and age, pointing to possible storage-related degradation rather than normal wear. The recorded mileage progression reveals an unusually low annual usage pattern: from 7,143 miles in February 2022 to 8,589 miles by December 2022 (just over 1,400 miles in ten months), then a significant jump to 12,455 miles by December 2023 (over 3,800 miles in twelve months), followed by only 93 miles added between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 11 miles between December 2024 and January 2026. This irregular accumulation—especially the long gap between 2023 and 2024—suggests extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate rubber deterioration, battery drain, and fluid breakdown. The fact that the car remained under 13,400 miles after seven years raises questions about its operational history and whether it was stored for prolonged durations. Given the repeated advisories on front wheel distortion and the visible perishing of the rear tyres, a buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension components, including control arms, ball joints, hub bearings, and steering rack mounts. Binding or misaligned calipers should be ruled out as a cause of uneven wear. The condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers should also be assessed, as sagging or worn units could contribute to wheel distortion. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis and body panels should be verified, particularly around the wheel arches, to ensure no hidden damage from prior impacts or corrosion. A full brake system check, including disc thickness and pad wear, is essential due to the high-performance nature of the V12 engine and the likelihood of heavy braking use during ownership.
