Ferrari F12BERLINETTA — MOT statistics 2024

The Ferrari F12BERLINETTA failed 3.42% of 439 first MOT attempts in 2024 ("first-time", excluding retests). Adjusted for the age of the fleet, its initial-failure ratio is 12.7 (100 = expected for its age profile). This car fails its MOT about 87% less often than expected for its age. Small sample — treat with care.

Age-adjusted peer: Ferrari 458 (index 12.9) — the two published results are 0.2 index points apart.

Ferrari F12BERLINETTA common problems: what actually fails the MOT

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment are well below the reference at 0.5 per 100 tests, against 7.9 per 100 tests across UK vehicles of the same ages.

family vs national — matched to UK vehicles of the same ages — top component groups, per 100 tests. Legend: This family · National avg. Combined labels: family / national average. This model rarely fails at all: the groups below rest on 100 failed items in total, so read them as a shape, not a rate. A gap here reflects how these vehicles are driven, used and maintained as well as how they were built — an MOT defect is a test outcome, not a breakdown.

Ferrari F12BERLINETTA MOT advisories: what gets flagged

Tyres stand out at 8.5 per 100 tests.

Adjusted for how much these are actually driven

The headline index adjusts for the fleet's age. Wear, though, follows mileage: a three-year-old taxi and a three-year-old garage queen sit in the same age band. These two rows compare every car with vehicles of the same age, and then with vehicles of the same age and the same annual mileage, 2019-2024, on 2,574 tests. Both stand on the six-year corpus so they are measured on identical data — compare them with each other, not with the headline index above, which is measured on 2024 alone.

Mileage matters here: matching on how much these are driven moves the figure by 14.3 points — this fleet is driven less than the vehicles it is measured against, so the age-only view flatters it — but it does not change which side of normal the car sits on. One limit to keep in mind: mileage is partly a result of how often a car breaks down — one that spends weeks in the workshop covers fewer miles — so the mileage-matched figure can understate a real weakness. Tests with no usable odometer reading are left out of it.

How the Ferrari F12BERLINETTA compares with cars of its own age and size

Not against the whole fleet — against cars of the same size class tested at the same age, 2019-2024.

Raw first-time failure rates within each age, so fleet age cannot flatter either side. A positive difference means this model fails more often than its own class at that age.

How does the Ferrari F12BERLINETTA perform as it gets older?

The F12BERLINETTA at age 10 is well below the reference at 1.8%, against 30.1% for all vehicles of the same age.

How dangerous are Ferrari F12BERLINETTA MOT failures?

Major defects are well below the reference at 2.3 per 100 tests, against 52.8 per 100 tests nationally.

Does the month of a Ferrari F12BERLINETTA MOT matter?

Mar is highest at 5.9%; Oct is lowest at 1.6% — the gap is 4.3 percentage points.

higher = larger sharecompare shares in percentage points

Chart scale: 0%–33%.

bars: Ferrari F12BERLINETTA · dashed: all class-4 cars

Takeaway: the spread between best and worst month is 4.3 percentage points — noticeable seasonality. Seasonality partly reflects registration-date clustering, not weather.

Before reading the shape: most of it is not about cars. Britain changes its registration plates twice a year, and 18.9% of these cars were first registered in March with another17.1% in September — 36% in two months against the 17% an even spread would give. An MOT falls due three years after first registration, so the buying calendar becomes the testing calendar. That shapes how many cars are tested each month — not how often they fail: the busiest months here are not the worst ones, so read the failure line on its own and the volume behind it separately.

Ferrari F12BERLINETTA average mileage by age

At age 8, the middle half of F12BERLINETTAs runs from 3,210 miles to 11,088 miles, against 6,554 miles as the median.

further right = more milesmedian is the typical car; band is p25–p75

line: median · band: middle half of the fleet (p25–p75)

A typical 8-year-old F12BERLINETTA has ~6,554 miles on the clock. Much more — ask why; much less — check for gaps in the MOT history.

Where in Britain the Ferrari F12BERLINETTA fails its MOT most

Twickenham area is highest at 8.0%; Leeds area is lowest at 7.1% — the gap is 0.9 percentage points.

higher = larger sharecompare shares in percentage points

Every dot is a postcode area — size = how many were tested there, colour = share failing. These figures are not age-adjusted: coastal and rural areas often run older fleets and salted roads, so higher raw fail rates do not automatically mean a worse local stock of this model.

Ferrari F12BERLINETTA survival: which cars are still on the road

By age 11 is well below the reference at 23.4%, against 100.0% at the ages 4–6 reference level.

higher = larger sharecompare shares in percentage points

Chart axes: car age, years · survival vs ages 4–6 · scale 0–105%.

By age 11, only about 23% as many cars of this family present for MOT as at ages 4–6 (reference n≈350); survivors still fail at 7.3% vs 4.0% at age 4. Older cars that still appear are a selected subset — weaker ones have already left.

How many years is a Ferrari F12BERLINETTA likely to last?

Bought at age 5 is highest at 5.0 years; Bought at age 10 is lowest at 0.9 years — the gap is 4.1 years.

bigger number = longer remaining lifeyears on the observed survival curve

estimateEstimate only — not a warranty: a typical 10-year-old example of this family has at least 0.9 expected years of further MOT-present life. The curve is observed only until age 11, so the true figure is likely higher.

Ferrari F12BERLINETTA rust problems: where they corrode

Salt-belt exposure is well below the reference at 11th percentile, against 50th percentile as the middle of published models.

higher = larger sharecompare shares in percentage points

This Ferrari F12BERLINETTA has too few tests to judge for corrosion once age is held constant, and its owners live in areas that are gentler than most for the models we publish.

Corrosion is the one failure mode that is as much about geography as about the car. We keep the two apart on purpose: a model can look rusty simply because it is popular in Scotland, and a model can look clean simply because it is bought in Surrey. Blending them into a single score would hide which of the two is doing the work.

Exposure is this model's tests weighted by an area corrosion index built from frost days, salt load and distance to the coast — the composite validated at r = 0.42 against corrosion defects we actually record. It is published as a rank, not a raw score, because every mainstream model skews towards low-corrosion areas for the simple reason that most of Britain's cars are in the south. Susceptibility is standardised to the national age profile, so an old fleet does not get labelled a rusty model.

What will fail next on a Ferrari F12BERLINETTA?

Visibility after a passed at age 3-5 is highest at 1.9%; Tyres after a passed at age 6-8 are lowest at 0.6% — the gap is 1.3 percentage points.

higher = more likelypercentage is the observed transition probability

The same chains, cut differently: given a car's age and how its last test went, which component most often causes trouble at the following one.

The pattern that repeats across every family: a failure at one test roughly doubles the chance of a failure on the same component at the next one, and an advisory sits about half-way between a clean pass and a failure. Age bands in years; probabilities are per car, not per defect item.

Ferrari F12BERLINETTA MOT: quick answers

Ferrari F12BERLINETTA MOT Risk Index is well below the reference at 12.7, against 100 for a car with the same age profile.

below 100 is betterabove 100 is worse100 = normal for this model at that age

What is the Ferrari F12BERLINETTA first-time MOT pass rate?

96.58% of first attempts passed in 2024 (439 tests). This is the first-time figure: retests after repair are excluded. Basis: first-time, excluding retests.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites often report a pass rate that includes retests or counts all attempts. Our 3.42% figure is the first-time initial failure rate, using 439 primary tests as the denominator (first-time, excluding retests). The age-adjusted MOT initial-failure ratio 12.7 is shown separately because raw rates compare fleet age as well as cars.
