2013 Ferrari 458 4.5L Petrol · FE12 DAN

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight consecutive MOT tests resulting in passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. This trend of zero-defect outcomes remained stable through the most recent inspection on 4 November 2025, indicating that the vehicle has met all DVSA minimum safety and environmental standards without requiring remedial work during these testing intervals. The recorded mileage of 33,261 miles is low for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,559 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation rate indicates the vehicle has been used sparingly. Mechanically, this usage profile shifts the focus from wear-and-tear associated with high mileage, such as drivetrain fatigue, toward the potential for component deterioration that can occur when a vehicle is not regularly exercised. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across the testing history, there are no specific mechanical failures or deteriorating components, such as suspension bushes or brake line corrosion, highlighted by the DVSA. A test drive should therefore focus on verifying the smooth operation of the gearbox and the absence of any unusual vibrations or steering pull, which would not necessarily be captured during a stationary MOT inspection. Attention should be directed toward the physical condition of the tyres and the integrity of the underbody, as the MOT record confirms the vehicle meets legal minimums but does not provide a detailed assessment of performance-grade wear. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and transmission during a cold start will complement the absence of recorded defects and provide a more complete picture of the vehicle's current state.
