2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast S-A 6.5L Petrol · RJ20 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT history, conducted just three months ago on 2026-04-08, reveals an unusual sequence of two consecutive failures followed by a pass—all at a near-identical mileage of 12,386 to 12,424 miles. While no defects were recorded in any of these tests, the repeated failures on the same date suggest either a technical anomaly in the MOT system or a deliberate retest after an administrative oversight rather than a genuine mechanical issue. The lack of advisories or defects across all five tests implies no recurring faults have been formally logged, though the clustering of tests in early April 2026 warrants scrutiny of whether the vehicle was subjected to undue stress or inspection pressure during that period. The recorded mileage of 12,424 miles over six years—approximately 2,071 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this class, suggesting prolonged periods of inactivity or limited use. The largest mileage gap occurs between the 2024-05-10 test at 3,944 miles and the 2025-06-03 test at 7,636 miles, a span of 1,692 miles over 13 months, which is still unusually low. The subsequent interval from 7,636 to 12,386 miles (4,750 miles in just over a year) shows a slight increase in activity, but the overall pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary. This could imply deferred maintenance or reduced exposure to environmental wear, though it also raises questions about whether critical components—such as suspension bushes or brake calipers—have been subjected to prolonged static loading. Given the absence of logged defects or advisories, no major structural or mechanical failures are evident from the MOT record. However, the vehicle’s low mileage does not negate the need for a thorough in-person inspection, particularly of suspension components—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—due to the potential for static degradation. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored with the wheels off the ground. Corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, suspension mounts, and the exhaust system, should be checked, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation. Finally, verify the condition of the engine bay, including fluid levels and hoses, to ensure no degradation has occurred during periods of disuse. The lack of MOT advisories does not preclude underlying issues, and a professional inspection remains essential.
