2010 Ferrari California 4.3L Petrol · LJ59 EEF

The vehicle presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a notably clean bill of health. The most recent test on 2 June 2026 at 17,490 miles passed with zero defects, marking the first completely advisory-free result in the recorded history. This is a significant shift from the preceding years, where a recurring minor defect appeared. The trend is clearly one of resolution, indicating that the previous concern has been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2010 vehicle, averaging just 1,093 miles per year. The record shows remarkably consistent and gentle use, with annual increments hovering between 55 and 86 miles from 2022 to 2026. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long-term storage neglect or recent high-mileage use. The data is sparse in terms of mechanical interventions, which is typical for a low-mileage vehicle of this age, but the consistent testing pattern implies regular, if minimal, annual use. Despite the clean recent result, the recurring advisory for a cut in the nearside rear tyre at the May 2023 and June 2024 tests warrants attention. While the defect was minor and did not reach the cords, its repetition on the same wheel suggests a persistent issue, possibly a slow puncture or a tyre that has aged and become more susceptible to damage. A buyer should physically inspect this tyre for any signs of perishing, embedded objects, or sidewall weakness, and consider its age regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the vehicle's very low mileage and high value, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that deteriorate with time rather than use. Key areas to assess include the condition of all tyre sidewalls and date codes, the integrity of rubber suspension bushes and subframe components for perishing, and the operation of brake calipers to ensure no binding has occurred from prolonged standing. The underbody should be checked for any surface corrosion that may have developed during inactive periods, particularly on exhaust components and suspension mounting points.
