Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Ferrari 812 Superfast GTS S A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2021 Ferrari 812 Superfast GTS S A?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2021 Ferrari 812 Superfast GTS S A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2021 Ferrari 812 Superfast GTS S A?

The 2021 Ferrari 812 Superfast GTS S-A is exceptionally reliable at first MOT, with a 91.6% pass rate that sits 11.6 percentage points above the UK average of 80%, and zero vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect. This is a genuinely impressive safety record for a high-performance supercar.

At just 4,343 miles median (5,164 average), these cars are barely run in, which explains the negligible 0.03 failures per vehicle and minimal advisory issues at 0.1 per car—owners are clearly treating them as cherished assets rather than daily drivers. If you're buying used, focus on service history and whether scheduled maintenance has been properly observed, as low mileage doesn't always mean good condition on an exotic with complex systems.
