Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Ferrari F12BERLINETTA Owners

These checks follow this Ferrari F12BERLINETTA's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Ferrari F12BERLINETTA.

• 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 number plates — “registration plates missing”

  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 lights — “headlamp cleaning device for LED or HID headlamp inoperative”

  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.
