Known repair windows
What F8 Tributo owners actually run into
Mileage ranges where these repairs typically show up. Buying above a window is not automatically a pass - it just needs to be priced in.
High-pressure fuel pump failure

Twin-pump design; intermittent stalling/rough running when one fails.
DCT clutch wear

Per-month can dip as the horizon lengthens - a major service lands in one year and then averages out across all the months after it. The left column is what you actually spend.
Beyond the schedule, the first big-ticket item this F8 Tributo is known for is High-pressure fuel pump failure from about 30,000 miles ($1,500-$4,000). It is a range, not a certainty - but it is the number to have in your head at the dealership.

When the smart money sells
Keeping it yourself, there is no cutoff - the table above runs to fifteen years. On fleet math, where a car has to keep earning, a gas F8 Tributo retires around 95,000 miles - but the exit window opens earlier here: DCT clutch wear risk window ($5,000-$8,000) opens ~30,000 mi. Carlyle's garage tracks this per car, against your actual odometer.
Cost ranges are typical US independent-shop estimates and vary by region and condition. Modeling, not mechanic advice - always confirm against your car's service records.
