2008 Ferrari F430 F1 4.3L Petrol · F1 FRV

The vehicle maintains an exemplary level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on May 24, 2026 at 17,832 miles where it passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This performance trend remains stable across the last five years, indicating a vehicle that is kept in a high state of preservation and avoids the mechanical or structural failures typical of its age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 990 miles per year. Between the June 2022 test at 14,350 miles and the May 2026 test at 17,832 miles, the car covered only 3,482 miles. This consistent low-usage profile suggests the car is likely stored under cover rather than a daily driver, though the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry that does not always manifest as an MOT failure. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection to address risks inherent to low-mileage supercars. Priority should be given to checking for cracked suspension bushes, perished tyres, and leaking seals, which degrade regardless of distance driven. The buyer should also inspect brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as stationary vehicles often suffer from caliper seizing or surface rust. Ensuring the structural integrity of the chassis remains free of oxidation is essential, although the clean record shows no history of such issues.
