2011 Ferrari 458 4.5L Petrol · R70 DVE

The most recent MOT on 2024-08-28 recorded two tyre-related issues: both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, with slight inner edge wear. This indicates potential alignment or suspension problems, as uneven tyre wear often correlates with misalignment or worn suspension components. The inspection was incomplete due to covers and shields, which may have obscured other critical areas. No other defects were noted, but the tyre condition raises immediate safety concerns. The vehicle’s MOT history from 2020 to 2024 shows mostly clean results, with only the 2020 failure related to a non-safety issue (non-conforming registration plate). No recurring mechanical faults were recorded in prior tests, suggesting the vehicle has generally been well-maintained. However, the lack of defects in older MOTs does not rule out hidden issues, particularly given the low mileage and potential for long-term storage. The vehicle’s mileage of 41,131 miles over 15 years equates to roughly 2,742 miles per year, which is significantly below average for a car of this age. While low mileage can indicate lighter use, it may also suggest periods of inactivity, which can lead to fluid degradation, battery issues, or component stiffness. The absence of wear-related defects in older MOTs does not confirm the vehicle’s condition, as some issues may only surface under dynamic testing.
