2019 Ferrari Portofino S-A 3.9L Petrol · EY19 OPE

The 2019 Ferrari Portofino S-A presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 18 April 2025 at 22,661 miles returning a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This is a marked improvement over the April 2024 cycle, where the vehicle failed on two registration plate non-conformity issues before passing the retest on the same day at 16,952 miles. The sole advisory carried into that pass, a cut in the nearside rear tyre not deep enough to reach the ply or cords, is a minor consumable concern rather than a structural or mechanical risk. Prior tests in April 2023 at 12,588 miles and April 2022 at 6,829 miles both passed without any defects, confirming a broadly well-kept vehicle with no recurring mechanical faults across five years of records. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of low annual use. From first test at 6,829 miles in April 2022 through to 22,661 miles in April 2025, the vehicle added 15,832 miles over three years, averaging roughly 5,277 miles per year during that period. However, the jump from 6,829 miles to 12,588 miles between April 2022 and April 2023 accounts for 5,759 miles in a single year, the highest annual increment on record. The subsequent two intervals, 4,364 miles and 5,709 miles, suggest sustained but moderate use. Standing periods are possible given the overall low total, yet the steady annual testing pattern with no gaps indicates the vehicle remained in regular use rather than long-term storage. The MOT record is notably free of structural corrosion, suspension wear, braking faults, or exhaust emissions failures, which is encouraging for a performance grand tourer of this age. The only recurring theme is minor tyre condition advisories, with the nearside rear tyre cut flagged in April 2024. A prospective buyer should still inspect all four tyres for uneven wear, sidewall damage, and date codes, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from aged rubber rather than tread wear. Brake discs and pads deserve close inspection given the car's performance capability, since infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion and uneven pad deposition even with low mileage. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering components should be checked for condition, particularly if the vehicle has spent time on uneven surfaces or speed bumps at speed. The registration plate defects from 2024 were cosmetic and resolved, but verifying that both plates remain compliant and securely fitted is a straightforward pre-purchase check. Overall, the record suggests attentive ownership with no evidence of deferred mechanical maintenance.
