Our Verdict
This 2014 Ferrari California in red presents as a well-maintained example with a clean recent MOT record and modest mileage for its age. Buyers should still budget for specialist servicing and confirm full service history before purchase.
Given the marque, insist on a complete main-dealer or recognised specialist service history for this red 2014 California, as routine maintenance costs are high and gaps can affect value. The only recorded MOT issue was a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge in February 2023, which was an advisory rather than a failure, suggesting the owner addressed wear items promptly. Negotiate on the basis of provenance and condition rather than price alone, as these cars hold value strongly when documented.
As a 4297cc petrol Ferrari, this California will sit in the highest VED band and command a high insurance group, with annual road tax around £600 and premiums varying widely by driver. Fuel economy will be poor for normal use given the engine size, and specialist maintenance at Ferrari intervals is expensive, often £1,000-plus for minor services. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance is £8,000-£12,000 depending on mileage.
Check the nearside rear tyre area noted in the February 2023 MOT for uneven wear, though the subsequent 2023 and 2025 passes show no recurring issue. Inspect the bodywork and convertible roof mechanism on this red example, as paint and hood condition are key value factors not captured by MOT data. Confirm the 33,874-mile odometer reading matches service records and that no warning lights or fluid leaks are present given the 4,200-mile average annual use.
The vehicle shows a consistent MOT history with passes in 2022, 2023 (twice), 2024 and 2025, and only one minor advisory for nearside rear tyre wear in February 2023. Recorded mileage of 33,874 at the September 2025 test is low for an 11-year-old performance car. No aggregate reliability data exists for the Ferrari California, so condition must be judged on this individual's history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Ferrari California, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual history.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: FERRARI CALIFORNIA
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Battery Voltage-Related Electrical Faults(Moderate)
Like many modern Ferraris, the California becomes noisy electronically when battery voltage drops. Cars that sit unused can throw a wide range of false warnings or behave inconsistently until the power supply is sorted.
- Retractable Hardtop and Roof Latch Faults(Moderate)
The folding roof is a major selling point but adds complexity. Hydraulic issues, sensor faults, or latch problems can leave the roof slow to operate or stuck mid-cycle.
- MagneRide Damper Seepage and Front Suspension Wear(Moderate)
These GT cars carry more weight over the front axle than Ferrari's mid-engined models, so worn bushes, tired links, or leaking dampers are not unusual on UK roads.
