2009 Ferrari F430 4.3L Petrol · M11 FER

The vehicle has passed every MOT test on record with no defects or advisories, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2026 at 15,804 miles confirms its current roadworthiness, and the preceding annual or semi-annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also show consistent compliance with the required standards. The recorded mileage presents a distinct pattern. The overall average of approximately 930 miles per year is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of limited use. However, the MOT history reveals a notable shift in recent years. Between the March 2023 test at 9,744 miles and the April 2026 test at 15,804 miles, the car accumulated over 6,000 miles, averaging more than 2,000 miles annually. This contrasts sharply with the minimal mileage increases—just a few hundred miles—recorded in the 2023 to 2024 period, indicating the car was likely stored or used very infrequently before more regular use commenced. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect the car in person for issues common to high-value, low-mileage, and infrequently driven vehicles. The history does not flag specific recurring faults, but the combination of age and sporadic use warrants close examination of rubber components like suspension bushes and engine/gearbox mounts for perishing or cracking. The brake system should be checked for binding calipers or disc corrosion from lack of use, and the exhaust for structural integrity and corrosion. Furthermore, all fluid levels and conditions, including clutch hydraulic fluid and engine oil, must be verified, as these can degrade during extended standing periods regardless of mileage. A specialist pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended to assess the car's underlying mechanical health beyond the MOT's safety-critical checks.
