2012 Ferrari 458 Spider DCT S-A 4.5L Petrol · Y1 AMO

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 5,883 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all legal and safety standards. This trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in high-performance machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 420 miles per year over its 14-year life. Between the 2021 test at 5,113 miles and the 2025 test at 5,883 miles, the car covered only 769 miles. While this low usage limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it introduces specific risks associated with long-term storage. The data shows regular intervals between tests, suggesting the vehicle is likely stored under and used sparingly rather than neglected. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that degrade through time rather than distance. The 2018 test record at 4,358 miles flagged perished rear tyres, a common issue for low-mileage vehicles where rubber dries out and loses elasticity. You should verify the age and condition of all tyres and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, as calipers that sit for long periods often develop rust or cause "flat spots" on the rotors. Additionally, the suspension bushings and seals should be checked for cracking or leaks, as these materials perish regardless of how low the mileage remains.
