Every Ferrari F430 model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2007 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Ferrari F430:

What a 19-year-old car fails on
A 2007 car is 19 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 2007 Ferrari F430 the average at test was 22,743 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 2008 at 95.4%, and the weakest in our data is 2006 at 94.6%. That 0.8 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2007 car against a newer one tells you very little.
