2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast S-A 6.5L Petrol · S6 XAS

The 2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast S-A presents an unblemished MOT record across all five documented tests, with the most recent examination conducted on 17 November 2025 at 29,556 miles returning a clean pass and zero defects. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, with no advisories, failures, or recurring mechanical concerns flagged at any point in the vehicle's history. For a high-performance GT of this calibre, a flawless five-test run is a strong indicator of careful ownership and consistent mechanical upkeep. The mileage accumulation pattern tells a clear story of sparing use. The car covered just 2,898 miles between its first registration period and the December 2021 test, then added 6,851 miles by November 2022, 4,817 miles by November 2023, 4,858 miles by November 2024, and 9,132 miles in the most recent twelve-month interval leading to November 2025. That uptick in the latest year suggests the current or most recent keeper has been using the car more actively, which is generally positive for a vehicle of this type since prolonged standing can cause its own issues with tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and dried seals. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully stress-test. The 812 Superfast's carbon-ceramic brake system should be examined for disc condition and pad wear, as these can deteriorate through heat cycling rather than mileage alone. Suspension bushes, ball joints, and the adaptive damping system deserve close scrutiny for any deterioration that might not manifest under standard MOT conditions. The tyres should be checked for age-related cracking and uneven wear, particularly given the car's extended periods of low annual use. Structural integrity around the front subframe, sills, and jacking points warrants inspection for any corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been stored in a less-than-ideal environment. The exhaust system, including manifold joints and catalytic converters, should be assessed for leaks or deterioration, as high-performance engines place significant thermal stress on these components. Given the clean record, there is no evidence of recurring faults, but the low-mileage, high-value nature of this car means a pre-purchase inspection by a marque specialist remains a prudent step before committing.
