2006 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2L Petrol · SME 1

The 2006 Maserati Quattroporte has a consistently clean MOT record in its most recent entries, with the latest test on 2024-06-13 showing no defects at 20,356 miles. Previous MOTs from 2023 and 2022 also passed without issues, suggesting the vehicle has maintained a stable condition in recent years. However, a 2021 MOT on the same day recorded a failure due to a supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp fault (7.1.6 (a)) and a throttle position sensor (TPS) warning light. This indicates a specific electrical or sensor-related issue that may have been resolved by 2024, as no defects were noted in the subsequent test. The recurring mention of a TPS warning light and SRS fault points to potential electrical system vulnerabilities, which could signal aging components or intermittent faults. While the 2024 MOT shows no defects, the 2021 failure suggests the vehicle may have had unresolved issues that required attention. The lack of further defects in later tests implies the problem might have been addressed, but buyers should verify if these issues were fully resolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 20,356 miles over 20 years equates to roughly 1,018 miles per year, which is unusually low. This could reflect light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. Low mileage does not necessarily correlate with mechanical health, as vehicles left unused for long periods can develop issues unrelated to wear, such as corrosion or degraded systems.
