Moderate sample. 318 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2014 Ferrari 458 is exceptionally reliable by any standard: a 95% first-time pass rate sits well above the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.2% of the cohort. This is a low-mileage population—averaging 10,055 miles across a decade-old car—which partly explains the stellar result, but it still tells you these are generally well-maintained machines.
The average of only 0.45 failures per vehicle and 1.5 advisories per test confirms that when these cars do come up for MOT, they're typically in good shape; the real question for a buyer isn't reliability but whether you can afford one that's been serviced to this standard. Check the service history rigorously and ensure any 458 you're considering has had the specialist Ferrari maintenance it demands, because these figures reflect cars that have clearly received it.
The 2014 Ferrari 458 passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
These stats describe 318 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
