1998 Ferrari 355 Spider F355 3.5L Petrol · S366 AUD

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test in October 2025 at 28,860 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable mechanical condition. This trend of perfection suggests that the vehicle has been subject to diligent maintenance and has avoided significant structural or mechanical failures over the last decade of inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between March 2013 and May 2020, during which the car covered only 546 miles. Since 2020, the usage has increased slightly, with roughly 700 miles recorded over the last six years. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of stationary time can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid chemistry. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age and long-term storage rather than mileage-related wear identified in the history. Although the 2013 test flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit, subsequent tests show this was addressed immediately. Attention should be paid to checking for perished suspension bushes, degraded brake lines, and seized brake calipers which often occur when vehicles sit idle. Given the intervals between use, verifying the integrity of the timing belts and the condition of the various fluids is essential to ensure the low mileage does not mask internal degradation of the classic Ferrari engine.
