Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Owners

These checks follow this Ferrari 612 Scaglietti's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

• the wipers and washers — “wipers blade defective”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

• the suspension joints — “track rod end ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated,”

  With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

• the lights — “headlamp aim too low”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
