Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Ferrari 296 Gtb S A?

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Ferrari 296 Gtb S A?

Too new to rate yet — worth knowing

Got a specific Ferrari 296 Gtb S A you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

The 296 GTB S-A falls short of the UK average with a 70.1% first-time pass rate against the national 80%, suggesting these cars are arriving at their first MOT with more issues than typical—though the complete absence of dangerous defects is reassuring. This is a low-mileage cohort (median just 4,776 miles at test), so the higher failure rate likely reflects teething problems rather than wear; with only 0.01 failures per vehicle on average, mechanical integrity appears sound once sorted.

The 0.1 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear is minimal, which makes sense for a £260k+ supercar that spends more time in the garage than on the road. If you're considering one, factor in a pre-purchase inspection to catch any niggling build issues before they become MOT failures, and expect the occasional advisory as these cars age.
