Every Ferrari 458 model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2015 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Ferrari 458:
| Year | Pass rate | Tests | Avg mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 98.8% | 253 | 13,305 |
| 2015 | 97.9% | 241 | 7,178 |

What an 11-year-old car fails on
A 2015 car is 11 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is low mileage, which usually means light urban use. Short journeys are harder on batteries, brakes and exhausts than motorway miles, so do not assume low miles means low wear. On a 2015 Ferrari 458 the average at test was 7,178 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2014 at 98.8%, and the weakest in our data is 2015 at 97.9%. That 0.9 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2015 car against a newer one tells you very little.
