Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Ferrari 812 Superfast Owners

These checks follow this Ferrari 812 Superfast's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Ferrari 812 Superfast.

  • the lights — “headlamp aim too high”

    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.

  • the number plates — “registration plates does not conform to the specified requirements”

    Check both plates are present, legible and correctly spaced, with the postcode of the supplier and the BS AU 145e mark. A private plate in the wrong style is a fail before the car is even looked at.

  • 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.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Ferrari 812 Superfast. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
