2018 Ferrari Portofino S-A 3.9L Petrol · LG18 FFT

The 2018 Ferrari Portofino S-A presents a stable and unblemished roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 16 March 2022 at 10,776 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, mirrored by the preceding test on 28 September 2021 at 10,722 miles, indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by the tester. The maintenance trend is stable and positive, showing no signs of deterioration or neglect. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the two recorded MOTs, spanning approximately five and a half months, the car covered just 54 miles. The current recorded mileage of 10,776 miles has remained static since the March 2022 test, meaning the vehicle has not been presented for a new MOT in over four years as of today's date in June 2026. This extended gap raises questions about whether the car has been in active use, stored, or simply not driven. A vehicle of this age and value sitting idle for prolonged periods can develop issues unrelated to mileage, such as deteriorated brake fluid, flat-spotted tyres, or moisture ingress in mechanical components. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection. The absence of advisories on record is encouraging, but the four-year gap since the last test means the vehicle's current condition is unverified. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the braking system, including calipers and discs, for any signs of corrosion or binding from static storage. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers should be checked for perishing, particularly if the car has been sitting on its tyres for extended periods. Tyre condition is critical; even with minimal tread use, rubber degrades with age, and sidewall cracking or flat spots are common on low-mileage, rarely moved vehicles. The structural integrity of the underbody and subframes should be inspected for corrosion, especially if the car has been stored in a less-than-ideal environment. A fluid health check, including engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, is essential to confirm no internal corrosion or contamination has occurred during dormancy. The exhaust system and its emissions performance should also be verified, as short, infrequent use can lead to moisture accumulation and premature corrosion within the system. This vehicle's record suggests excellent care, but its prolonged inactivity demands a cautious, detail-oriented physical examination before purchase.
