TECHNICAL INSPECTION

Before any Ferrari can be declared Approved, it must first pass a series of extremely rigorous technical checks and controls drawn up by the Factory. This complete and detailed Ferrari-approved inspection is carried out by technicians that have been trained at the factory and who specialize in evaluating Ferrari of all types.

The inspection involves no less than 190 different checks covering everything from the running gear to the electrical systems, bodywork and interior. It concludes with a road-test inspection.

Any defects that emerge will be repaired using original Ferrari spares only, to ensure that the car fully complies with Maranello’s extremely strict safety, performance and reliability standards too.

Once a car has passed the technical inspection, a written evaluation is drawn up and will be supplied to the new owner as proof of the controls and checks carried out.

 

A FERRARI APPROVED TECHNICAL INSPECTION INCLUDES:

  • Running gear functioning tests
  • Electrical system functioning tests
  • Check of fluids levels
  • Examination of condition of suspension, brakes, cooling system and steering system
  • Secondary controls of air conditioner, instrumentation and safety systems.
  • Lights, wheels and tyres (tread depth and pressure) function tests

 

PROVENANCE AND PREPARATION

Each Ferrari Approved car is meticulously prepared and presented for sale to Ferrari’s own extremely high exterior and interior standards. The exterior paintwork and interior trim and upholstery are carefully checked. If any repairs are required, only the finest quality materials will be used, of course.

At the end of each inspection, a detailed list of the checks and repairs carried out to allow the car into the Ferrari Approved program is placed in the glove compartment.
