2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 6.0L Petrol · F1 KBJ

The MOT record presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent test on 14 August 2025 passing cleanly at 1,491 miles with zero defects. That clean bill of health follows a minor setback exactly one year prior, when the vehicle failed the same test day on parking brake efficiency before passing on a retest hours later. The fact that no further defects have appeared in the subsequent twelve months suggests the parking brake issue was rectified properly rather than ignored. This Ferrari 599 GTB has covered just 1,491 miles over roughly nineteen years, averaging approximately 78 miles annually. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally gradual, rising only 143 miles between August 2024 and August 2025, and just 32 miles in the preceding twelve months before that. Such minimal use indicates prolonged periods of standing, which carries its own mechanical implications distinct from road wear. The sparse but consistent annual testing pattern does at least demonstrate that the previous owner maintained current MOT certification without allowing significant gaps in examination. Despite the clean recent result, a prospective buyer must inspect the parking brake system thoroughly, given the documented failure on 14 August 2024 at 1,345 miles. The handbrake cables, caliper mechanisms, and linkage should be examined for corrosion or seizure, as infrequent use commonly causes these components to bind or deteriorate. The vehicle's near-static mileage also raises concerns about brake disc surface corrosion, tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear, and deteriorated rubber suspension bushes or exhaust seals that degrade through ozone and time rather than mileage. A compression test and thorough underbody inspection for structural corrosion are advisable before committing to purchase.
