2009 Ferrari California 4.3L Petrol · GS 115

This Ferrari California presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, with no defects recorded across the last five years of testing. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate, suggesting that the car has been well-maintained or lightly used during this period. The low annual mileage of approximately 2,857 miles per year over its 17-year life indicates that this vehicle has spent significant time off the road or has been used sparingly as a weekend car. While this low usage can preserve mechanical components, it also carries the risk of issues related to long-term storage, such as perished rubber seals, degraded fluids, or seized components that may not always be immediately apparent during a standard MOT inspection. The trend for this vehicle is stable and positive, as the lack of recorded advisories or failures over the last five years points toward a car that has been kept in good order. There is no evidence of a worsening condition based on the recent test data, and the progression of mileage between tests is steady, suggesting the car has been exercised regularly rather than left completely dormant for years at a time. Because the MOT history is clean, it does not highlight specific mechanical failures to watch out for. However, you should not assume the car is flawless simply because it has passed these tests. MOT inspections focus primarily on road safety and emissions, not the overall health of a complex high-performance engine or transmission. When you inspect the vehicle in person, your primary focus should be on the condition of the tires and the state of the rubber components, as these can degrade regardless of how few miles the car has covered.
