2013 Ferrari 458 4.5L Petrol · FOW 343

The most urgent issue to address is the validity of the MOT certificate, as the last test was conducted on 13 April 2022. With today being June 2026, this vehicle has been without a valid MOT for over four years. You must treat this car as if it has not been officially inspected for a significant period, regardless of the previous clean results. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low at just 1,435 miles, which averages out to roughly 110 miles per year over the vehicle's life. While this suggests the car has suffered very little mechanical wear or stress from driving, it implies a history of long-term static storage. Vehicles of this age that are driven so infrequently are prone to deterioration from lack of use rather than from mileage accumulation. The MOT history itself shows a stable trend with no dangerous defects recorded. The only failure on record occurred in November 2017 due to administrative issues with the registration plates, alongside a mechanical note for a "Rear Slight brake grab". This brake issue was noted again on the same day when the car passed, but it has not appeared in subsequent tests in 2018, 2020, or 2022. This suggests the braking system was likely rectified or is responsive to use, but the long gap since the last test raises new concerns about components seizing.
