Which 360 are you looking at?

Each 360 generation has its own weak spots. Here are the known problems.

  1. Suspension component joint excessive wear

    Wear item 360

    The 360's suspension geometry places high stress on wishbone bushes and ball joints, particularly the lower front wishbone bushes and rear upper ball joints. The combination of wide tyres, stiff suspension setup, and aluminium suspension components creates premature wear patterns not seen on conventional road cars. MOT data shows this model fails suspension joint inspections at 71.5 times the national fleet average. Worn joints compromise handling precision and create dangerous unpredictable behaviour during cornering.

    What to check: With the car on level ground, examine each wheel arch for uneven tyre wear patterns - excessive inner or outer edge wear indicates suspension geometry problems from worn bushes. Look under the car at the front lower wishbones where they attach to the subframe - worn bushes show as visible rubber ...

  2. Steering ball joint excessive wear

    Wear item 360

    The steering ball joints, particularly the track rod ends, wear at 6.6 times the national fleet average on the 360 with a worsening trend in recent MOT data. The precise steering geometry required for the car's handling characteristics, combined with wide low-profile tyres and minimal suspension travel, places exceptional stress on steering linkage components. Worn ball joints introduce play into the steering system, affecting both steering precision and straight-line stability.

    What to check: With the front wheels pointed straight ahead, grasp each front wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock positions and attempt to rock the wheel horizontally - any movement indicates worn steering ball joints or wheel bearings. Visually inspect the track rod ends at each front wheel for obvious wear, split rubber...

  3. Steering rack gaiter deterioration

    Wear item 360

    The steering rack gaiters (rubber bellows that protect the steering rack mechanism) deteriorate prematurely on the 360, failing at 13.2 times the national fleet average according to MOT data. The engine bay heat, combined with the low ride height exposing the rack to road debris, causes the rubber to perish and split. Failed gaiters allow contamination into the steering rack mechanism and power steering fluid to leak out, leading to steering rack failure if left unaddressed.

    What to check: With the front wheels turned to full lock in both directions, visually inspect the steering rack gaiters (black rubber bellows) at each end of the steering rack underneath the car behind the front wheels. Look for splits, tears, or obvious deterioration in the rubber material. Check for power ste...

  4. Shock absorber bush wear

    Wear item 360

    The shock absorber mounting bushes on the 360 wear at 7.3 times the national fleet average, with the trend worsening according to recent MOT data. The stiff suspension setup and high-performance dampers create increased loads on the rubber mounting bushes, particularly the upper strut mounts. Worn bushes allow the dampers to move within their mounting points, reducing suspension control and creating noise over road imperfections.

    What to check: Visually inspect the top of each shock absorber where it mounts to the car body - look for rubber deterioration, cracking, or visible movement in the mounting bush. Check for rust staining around the shock absorber mounts which indicates movement and wear. Look at the shock absorber bodies for oi...

  5. Parking brake efficiency below requirement

    Safety and MOT risk 360

    The 360's parking brake system fails efficiency testing at 7.3 times the national fleet average according to MOT data. The mechanical handbrake operates on the rear disc brakes through a cable and lever system that requires regular adjustment as the brake pads wear. The system is sensitive to cable stretch and brake pad condition, and Ferrari's focus on performance rather than parking brake effectiveness means the system provides minimal holding force compared to conventional cars.

    What to check: Apply the parking brake and count how many clicks of travel are required - more than 6-8 clicks typically indicates adjustment is needed. Check the parking brake lever mechanism for smooth operation without binding or excessive effort required. Visually inspect the parking brake cables underneath...

What the check includes

360 questions

Is the Ferrari 360 reliable?

8.7% of 360 models fail their MOT based on 6,569 tests analysed. That’s better than average for the class. There are 5 known problems to watch for, the most serious being suspension component joint excessive wear. A full history check shows whether a specific car has had related write-offs or insurance claims.

What are the main problems with a Ferrari 360?

The most serious known issues are suspension component joint excessive wear, steering ball joint excessive wear, steering rack gaiter deterioration. Our car check flags whether a specific 360 has been written off or had insurance claims linked to these faults.

How do I check if a Ferrari 360 has outstanding finance?

Enter the registration on this page. We query Experian’s finance database and return any outstanding agreements within a minute. If finance is still owed, the finance company can legally repossess the car even after you’ve paid the seller. At £7.49 it’s the cheapest way to avoid a car that isn’t legally for sale.

How do I check if a Ferrari 360 has been written off?

Our check queries Experian’s insurance write-off database for Cat A, B, S and N markers. A Cat S or N 360 has been structurally or non-structurally damaged and repaired. This doesn’t mean it’s unsafe, but it affects resale value and some insurers won’t cover it. The check costs £7.49.

Can I check a Ferrari 360 for free?

You can check MOT history free on GOV.UK, which shows past test results and advisories. What it won’t show is outstanding finance, write-offs or theft markers, which are the things that actually cost you money after you’ve bought. Our full check adds all of that for £7.49, using Experian data.

Is a Ferrari 360 HPI check worth it?

HPI is one brand of car check. Our check uses the same Experian data covering finance, stolen, write-off and keeper history, plus MOT analysis and known 360 faults that HPI doesn’t include. At £7.49 it’s typically less than half the price of an HPI check.

What does a Ferrari 360 fail its MOT on?

The most common MOT failure on the 360 is suspension pin, bush or joint worn. 8.7% of 360 models fail overall, based on 6,569 tests. Checking a car’s full MOT history before buying shows you recurring problems the seller might not mention.
