2000 Ferrari 360 3.6L Petrol · C9 MGE

The 2000 Ferrari 360 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 24 November 2025 at 40,374 miles with zero defects recorded. That result marks a clear resolution of the recurring parking brake lever travel advisories that appeared in both the 20 March 2023 test at 39,566 miles and the 8 March 2022 test at 39,022 miles. The two consecutive clean passes since then suggest the issue was addressed rather than ignored, which is a positive indicator of attentive ownership in recent years. The mileage profile tells a consistent story of very low annual use. Across the full recorded history, the car has covered just 1,352 miles between the March 2024 test at 39,996 miles and the November 2025 test at 40,374 miles, averaging well under 1,000 miles per year in the most recent period. Over its roughly 26-year life, the total of 40,374 miles equates to approximately 1,553 miles annually, which is exceptionally low even for a specialist sports car. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, and the record shows a steady, gradual accumulation that aligns with light enthusiast use rather than long-term storage or neglect. Despite the clean recent results, the earlier parking brake lever travel advisories warrant a physical inspection of the handbrake mechanism, including the cable adjustment, rear caliper linkages, and any associated mounting points. On a low-mileage Ferrari 360 of this age, seized or binding rear brake calipers and deteriorated handbrake cables are common culprits even when mileage is minimal, as prolonged standing can cause components to corrode or stiffen. A buyer should also examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around subframe mounting points, suspension wishbone attachment areas, and exhaust mounting brackets, since infrequent use does not eliminate the risk of moisture ingress and rust in critical load-bearing areas. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers deserve close scrutiny as well. Low annual mileage can mask wear, but aged rubber bushings and tired dampers often deteriorate through time rather than use, leading to imprecise handling and uneven tyre wear. Tyre condition should be checked for date codes and sidewall cracking, as original or aged rubber compounds degrade regardless of remaining tread depth. A thorough test drive covering low-speed braking, handbrake engagement on a gradient, and suspension behaviour over uneven surfaces will confirm whether the clean MOT record translates into sound mechanical condition beneath the surface.
