Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Ferrari Roma 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 Roma 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 Roma 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.

Is the 2021 Ferrari Roma S A reliable?

Based on MOT data from 247 vehicles, the 2021 Ferrari Roma S A has a first-time MOT pass rate of 96.3%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2021 Ferrari Roma S A?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2021 Ferrari Roma S-A has an 86.5% first-time MOT pass rate, which is a solid 6.5 percentage points above the UK average and suggests good baseline reliability for a three-year-old supercar. Dangerous defects are rare at just 1.2% of the cohort, so safety isn't a concern here.

With a median mileage of only 7,811 miles, these are lightly-driven cars that average just 0.1 failures and 0.3 advisories per test—typical wear-and-tear stuff. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection by a Ferrari specialist is still essential given the complexity and cost of ownership, but the MOT data suggests these cars are mechanically sound when properly maintained.
