2019 Ferrari 812 Superfast S-A 6.5L Petrol · YNF 7

A consistent run of four consecutive MOT passes with no advisories or failures recorded between July 2022 and October 2025 forms the mechanical backdrop of this Ferrari 812 Superfast. Each annual test returned a clean sheet, meaning the examiner noted no items requiring attention, no monitoring advisories, and no immediate or delayed defects across braking, suspension, steering, tyres, lights, or emissions. For a high-performance front-engined grand tourer now seven years old, an unbroken pass sequence with zero advisories is an unusually tidy outcome in the MOT record and indicates that the wear items visible to a standard DVSA roadworthiness check were within tolerance at the most recent test on 9 October 2025. The absence of recurring component flags also means there is no evidence in the file of progressive deterioration in any particular subsystem, such as brake pipe corrosion, suspension bush wear, or exhaust deterioration, that has been formally captured in test data. The recorded mileage of 16,950 miles against a seven-year age equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 2,400 miles, which sits at the lower end of the spectrum for a car of this type. Testing history is well spaced at annual intervals with no extended gaps in MOT coverage, suggesting the vehicle has remained taxed and on the road throughout, rather than being laid up for multi-year periods. Low annual mileage reduces wear rates on the major mechanical consumables, particularly the clutch, brake discs and pads, and the high-pressure components of the naturally aspirated V12 drivetrain. However, very low use can also allow standing-start degradation of seals, brake caliper binding from infrequent operation, and drying of suspension bushes, none of which would necessarily be captured in a clean MOT pass but warrant physical inspection. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any flagged components in the MOT record means there is no specific defect trajectory to investigate, but a roadworthy test certificate does not assess the deeper mechanical integrity expected of a car in this class. On a test drive, listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front double wishbone suspension over uneven surfaces, as worn upper or lower wishbone bushes and ball joints may not produce an MOT advisory until they are significantly deteriorated. Feel for any vibration through the brake pedal under firm stopping, which can indicate front or rear disc warping, and check for a dragging sensation or pulling to one side that may suggest a binding brake caliper, particularly given the carbon-ceramic brake specification common on this model. With the engine running, inspect for any oil seepage around the front of the V12 and around the rear transaxle, and ensure that the dual-clutch transmission delivers clean, sharp upshifts and downshifts without shunt or hesitation. Before purchase, it is advisable to commission a specialist independent inspection from a technician familiar with Ferrari V12 models, covering the timing service intervals, the condition of the exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters, and a bore-scope or compression check of the cylinders, as none of these items are assessed during an MOT. Inspect the underside thoroughly for any corrosion on suspension arms, subframes, or brake lines, and examine the coolant and hydraulic fluid reservoirs for discolouration or aeration. Finally, verify the recent service history directly with a main agent or recognised specialist, as the MOT record alone confirms only that the vehicle was roadworthy on the day of test and provides no record of the major scheduled maintenance required to preserve the long-term integrity of the powertrain and chassis components.
