To achieve performance levels equivalent to those of a brand-new Ferrari, technicians at local dealerships, trained at Ferrari's Maranello facility in Northern Italy, conduct detailed technical inspections on each pre-owned vehicle.

 

The initial step involves validating the origin and maintenance history of the vehicles to confirm they have not been involved in significant accidents and possess a well-documented service history. Ferrari says that the technical team will meticulously assess both the exterior and interior of each car to ensure every aspect is in impeccable condition, which enables the vehicle to be covered by insurance for up to 24 months.

A thorough examination, consisting of 190 individual checks, is performed by Ferrari's experts before a used Ferrari earns the "Approved" designation. This includes testing every aspect of the vehicle, encompassing mechanical operations, electrical systems, liquid levels, and suspension conditions. Critical components such as brakes, cooling systems, and steering systems are also subject to scrutiny.

Furthermore, supplementary checks are carried out on the air conditioning, dashboard, safety systems, lights, wheels, and tyres, including tread depth and pressure measurements, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the vehicle's functionality.

Upon completion of these checks, experienced testers take the vehicles for a spin to ensure they are operating at peak performance levels. Anyone purchasing a certified pre-owned Ferrari from an authorised dealer will receive a comprehensive written analysis of all the tests performed, ensuring a transparent vehicle history accompanied by documented records and Ferrari's warranty benefits, which cover both parts and labour for major repairs.
