2014 Ferrari 458 4.5L Petrol · EY14 FKA

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED status at 16,429 miles, but the MOT record indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical health, with the most recent inspection failing in March 2024. The 2026 test was passed, confirming that the car is mechanically sound for the current year, though the 2024 failure suggests a recurring issue in the rear-view mirror assembly. This trend of failure is not stable; it represents a worsening pattern where the car has not undergone a full inspection since the 2024 inspection, which is a critical red flag for any buyer. The mileage accumulation is notable given the vehicle's age of 12 years. The 16,429 miles recorded in the 2026 test are exceptionally low for a 12-year-old Ferrari 458, which typically requires over 20,000 miles for basic maintenance. This gap between the 16,429 miles and the 15,091 miles recorded in March 2024 suggests that the owner may have experienced a substantial period of inactivity or reduced driving, leading to accelerated wear on suspension components and brakes. The low mileage relative to age indicates that the car has not been properly maintained for a long time, putting it at risk of future failure. Given the recurring failure of the rear-view mirror and the significant mileage gap, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific structural risks, such as rust on suspension bushes or binding calipers, and to assess the condition of the exhaust emissions system. The lack of a recent MOT and the history of a mirror failure indicate that the car is in a state of potential hazard, requiring immediate and thorough professional assessment before purchase.
