Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific 812 Superfast Gts S-a is likely to perform.
Identification of the vehicle — 0.6% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 0.6% of MOT failures on the Ferrari 812 Superfast Gts S-a. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 0.4% of failures
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 0.4% of MOT failures on the Ferrari 812 Superfast Gts S-a. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Noise, emissions and leaks — 0.2% of failures
Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 0.2% of MOT failures on the Ferrari 812 Superfast Gts S-a. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
