2018 Ferrari 488 3.9L Petrol · KF18 EMV

This 2018 Ferrari 488 passed its most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 with no defects recorded. The vehicle has now covered 18,236 miles across eight years of ownership, which works out to approximately 2,280 miles per year. This is notably low mileage for a car of this age and type. The MOT record spans five consecutive years without a single advisory or defect. Each test shows steady mileage progression with no gaps or anomalies in the testing pattern. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 2,850 miles per year over the past two years, which is slightly above the long-term average but still well below typical annual use for a sports car of this specification. Low mileage on a high-performance vehicle like the 488 presents a mixed picture. On one hand, fewer miles generally means less wear on the engine, transmission, and running gear. On the other hand, extended periods of inactivity or very light use can create different risks: fuel system varnishing, brake fluid degradation, tyre perishing, battery discharge cycles, and corrosion in areas that benefit from regular circulation and heat cycling. Sports cars are engineered to be driven; prolonged storage or minimal use can sometimes mask latent issues that only emerge under load.
