Ferrari Roma maintenance: the schedule, the costs, the traps
A front-mid-engine 2+2 grand touring coupe (Roma Spider convertible variant) with a gas powertrain. Below: the service intervals with real cost ranges, the repairs Roma owners actually report, and when a fleet operator would sell. Same data Carlyle uses to score fleet buys.
Service schedule
What it needs, and what that runs

| 48,000 mi | Engine ancillary/accessory drive belt(s) replacement (cam timing is by CHAIN, not belt) | $1,500-$3,000 |

Known repair windows
What Roma 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.
Turbocharger oil coking / bearing wear
high severity40,000-80,000 mi · $8,000-$20,000 (pair)
Same F154 twin-turbo family risk if oil service is stretched or the car is shut down hot; Roma (F154BB) benefits from later cooling/ECU calibration and is generally reliable when serviced on schedule.
Dual-clutch (8-DCT) clutch pack wear/replacement
medium severity35,000-55,000 mi · $5,000-$9,000
Clutch is a wear item, not a warranty defect; low-speed crawling and launches accelerate wear. Judder/slow take-up are early signs.
Carbon-ceramic (CCM) brake disc/pad replacement
high severity30,000-60,000 mi · $12,000-$25,000 (full set)
Standard CCM brakes last well on the street but are very expensive to replace; complete rotors.
Digital cockpit / infotainment & capacitive-touch controls glitches
medium severityAny mileage · $500-$4,000
Roma is nearly all-digital (touch steering-wheel buttons, dual screens); unresponsive/laggy touch controls and screen faults are the most-reported owner annoyance - often a software update, sometimes a module.
GDI intake-valve carbon buildup (walnut-blast decarbon)
medium severityAny mileage · $1,200-$2,500
Direct-injection deposits on intake valves; periodic media-blast cleaning.
Coil pack / spark plug misfire
medium severity20,000-40,000 mi · $1,500-$3,000
Misfire under load typically a coil or plug; fix promptly to protect catalysts.
Roma Spider soft-top mechanism (convertible variant only)
medium severity30,000-70,000 mi · $1,500-$5,000
Folding fabric-top actuators/sensors can require calibration or repair; applies only to the Spider, not the fixed-roof coupe.
12V battery drain / dead battery
low severityAny mileage · $300-$700
Parasitic draw needs a tender when parked; a flat battery throws multiple false warnings.
AC condenser / water pump
medium severity40,000-70,000 mi · $1,500-$3,500
Debris-exposed front condenser and coolant pump are periodic wear items on the twin-turbo V8.
Operator notes
Roma launched 2020; the COUPE was discontinued after 2025 (replaced by the Ferrari Amalfi), but the Roma SPIDER remains on sale into 2026, so the nameplate is still in production (latest_year 2026). Engine F154BB 3.9L twin-turbo V8 (~612 hp) with 8-speed dual-clutch uses TIMING CHAINS (no cam belt) - 'belt' interval is accessory drive only (~8 yr). Schedule is TIME-based first: annual oil/inspection, brake fluid every 2 yr; Ferrari's stated core service is every 20,000 km/12,500 mi or 1-2 yr. Ferrari Genuine Maintenance covers scheduled service free for 7 years; figures above are out-of-warran
When the smart money sells
On fleet math, a gas Roma retires around 95,000 miles - but the exit window opens earlier here: Carbon-ceramic (CCM) brake disc/pad replacement risk window ($12,000-$25,000 (full set)) 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.
