2009 Ferrari California 4.3L Petrol · MW07 FER

The 2009 Ferrari California last passed its MOT on 3 October 2025 at 42,133 miles with two minor advisories, leaving it roadworthy but showing early age-related wear. The maintenance trend across the five recorded tests remains stable, with no failures and only bush or tyre wear flagged in later years. The tester noted slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint and a worn but non-excessive hub bush on the nearside rear lower suspension arm during that most recent examination. Mileage stands at 42,133 after sixteen years, averaging roughly 2,478 miles per year, which is low for a performance vehicle of this age. From the 5 May 2021 test at 37,119 miles, the car added just 1,488 miles by May 2022, then 1,389 miles to October 2023, 862 miles to October 2024, and 1,275 miles to October 2025. The sparse but consistent record shows no rapid accumulation or missed test windows, implying careful, infrequent use rather than neglected storage. A buyer should physically verify the nearside front track rod end for ball joint play and examine the nearside rear lower suspension arm hub bush for deterioration, as these were fresh advisories in 2025. The repeated tyre sidewall cuts—nearside front in October 2023 and nearside rear outer in October 2024—suggest previous kerbing or careless parking rather than structural fault, yet the buyer should inspect the actual tyres for sidewall integrity. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, the buyer should closely check brake discs for corrosion, caliper binding, and structural integrity beneath sills and arches, though the MOT record flagged no such defects.
