2008 Ferrari 599 6.0L Petrol · WX08 DYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deteriorating suspension and electronic components. While the car passed the March 2026 test at 38,363 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior. That failure highlighted critical safety faults involving the ABS and electronic stability control systems, alongside a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber. The transition from a serious failure to a pass indicates the necessary repairs were made, but the recurring nature of suspension issues remains a concern. At 38,363 miles over 18 years, the vehicle shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,131 miles per year. This low usage suggests infrequent driving, which often leads to component degradation regardless of wear. Between February 2024 and March 2026, the car covered only 6,993 miles, yet it suffered multiple mechanical failures. The long intervals between tests likely allow seals and rubber to age and perish, as evidenced by the corrosion noted on the rear coil springs and the failure of the shock absorbers. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and damping assembly. The record shows the shock absorbers progressed from light misting in March 2025 to a serious leak by February 2026; the buyer should verify that all dampers have been replaced rather than just one unit. Furthermore, the corrosion on the rear coil springs noted in 2024 and 2025 should be checked for structural integrity to ensure no fractures have developed. The electronic systems also require scrutiny. Since the ABS and stability control warning lamps triggered in February 2026, the buyer must confirm these faults are fully rectified and do not recur intermittently. The history also shows frequent issues with tyre damage and wear, suggesting the vehicle may have been subjected to curb damage or driven with neglected tire maintenance despite the high-performance nature of the car.
