2003 Ferrari 575M 5.7L Petrol · IL 232

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 18 June 2025 at 54,144 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained in a manner that avoids the mechanical degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in older performance cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,354 miles per year. Between August 2021 and June 2025, the car covered only 2,176 miles, representing a usage rate of less than 600 miles annually. While this low mileage limits the wear on drivetrain components, engine internals, and brake pads, long periods of inactivity or minimal use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based seals, hoses, and fluid chemistry that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components sensitive to low-mileage storage. Focus should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish or fatigue without significant mileage. The braking system should also be checked for seized calipers or disc pitting, often caused when a vehicle sits stationary. Given the age of the Ferrari, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden corrosion remains essential, as the MOT record has not flagged any structural failures to date.
