2005 Ferrari 360 3.6L Petrol · V8 DPE

The vehicle currently meets the roadworthiness standards for a 2005 Ferrari 360, but the maintenance history reveals a critical deterioration in the braking system and suspension components that requires immediate physical inspection. The most recent MOT was passed on 2025-07-18 at 18,554 miles, indicating no major structural issues at the time of that test. However, the previous MOT on 2025-07-04 at 18,430 miles failed due to insufficient brake lever reserve travel, suggesting a wear pattern that has not been corrected despite the vehicle's age. The second most recent test on 2024-07-10 at 16,777 miles was passed, confirming that the braking system has stabilized since the 2025-07-04 failure. The mileage accumulation presents a significant risk given the vehicle's age of 21 years. The test on 2024-07-03 at 16,758 miles shows the most severe deterioration of the suspension arms, specifically dust covers on nearside and offside rear suspension components. While these are minor consumables, the fact that the dust covers were severely deteriorated indicates a lack of regular maintenance, potentially leading to premature failure of the suspension bushings and springs. The rapid mileage gap between the 2025-07-04 and 2024-07-03 tests, combined with the 2024-07-10 test, suggests that the vehicle may have been driven at high speed or in adverse weather conditions, accelerating wear on the suspension and brakes. Given the recurring faults in the suspension arms and the brake lever reserve travel issue, the vehicle is not roadworthy for long-term driving. The buyer must inspect the brakes, suspension, and wheel alignment immediately. The brake lever must be checked for sufficient travel, and the suspension bushings and springs must be inspected for excessive wear or corrosion. If the brake lever reserve travel is insufficient, the vehicle may not be safe to operate, and the suspension components should be replaced to prevent further damage to the drivetrain and wheels.
