2005 Ferrari F430 4.3L Petrol · G25 GEO

This 2005 Ferrari F430 has a low recorded mileage of 62,631 miles for its age, averaging under 3,000 miles per year. This could indicate genuine light use, but given the car's age and performance nature, it equally suggests long periods of storage or inactivity, which can cause its own issues like seized components, fluid degradation, and tyre flat spots. The most recent MOT in April 2026 was a pass, but it is the first time the vehicle has recorded any advisories. The noted issues are all related to wear in the steering and suspension systems: both rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and unevenly, the nearside rear track rod end had slight play, the offside front upper suspension arm bush was worn, and the offside front anti-roll bar linkage had slight play. This is a noticeable shift from the previous four years of completely clean MOT passes. The trend is moving from perfectly clean to accumulating minor mechanical wear items. This suggests the car's condition is now starting to show its age, particularly in its running gear. The fact that multiple suspension and steering components are flagged simultaneously could imply general age-related wear or that the car has been used infrequently without the regular maintenance and motion that keeps these parts exercised and lubricated. Given the very low average annual mileage, a buyer should be cautious about wear from standing still rather than hard driving. The uneven tyre wear noted on the rears is a classic sign of alignment or suspension geometry issues, which ties in with the other steering and suspension advisories.
