2002 Ferrari 360 3.6L Petrol · MM52 AFK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 August 2026, maintaining a highly stable maintenance trend over the last several years. With a history of clean passes dating back to early 2022, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a condition that consistently meets roadworthiness standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural deterioration. The emergence of a single advisory in the latest test suggests a shift from mechanical wear toward the age-related degradation of consumables. The recorded mileage of 22,177 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 924 miles per year over twenty-four years. While this indicates minimal frictional wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and clutch, such low usage often implies long periods of standing. This usage profile shifts the mechanical risk from component wear to the degradation of rubber seals and the chemical breakdown of essential fluids, which occur due to time rather than distance travelled. The latest advisory regarding cracking and perishing on the inner walls of the rear tyres is a critical indicator of age-related rubber failure. A prospective buyer must inspect the date codes of all tyres to ensure they are not beyond their recommended service life, as perishing can lead to structural failure under high-load cornering. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering feel and listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can harden and crack when a vehicle is not exercised regularly. Given the low mileage and age, particular attention should be paid to the braking system and electrical health. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. It is imperative to verify the service history for calendar-based maintenance, specifically oil changes and belt replacements, as these must be performed by time rather than mileage to prevent internal engine sludge or timing component failure. Finally, the condition of the 12V battery and the absence of fluid leaks from perished seals should be thoroughly verified.
