Expert verdict
Identification: 28.4× the national share
Identification accounts for 50.0% of everything recorded on the 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale, against 1.8% nationally — 48.2 points above. Brakes are still the single largest share at 50.0%, but at 20.9% nationally that one is ordinary. A missing or unreadable VIN plate is an administrative failure — usually easy to fix, but it stops the test.
- Beats its own age and mileage. Once you allow for how old and how far these cars have been driven, the expected pass rate is 82.1% and this one manages 98.9% — 16.8 points ahead of what its age and mileage predict.
- When it fails, it costs. Only 0% of this model’s typical repairs come in under £30 in parts — the failures here tend to be the kind that need a garage rather than a bulb.
