2017 MASERATI GRANTURISMO4.7L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful re-test, though the recent history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed its most recent MOT test on 19 May 2026 at 39,416 miles, it failed just four days prior at 39,374 miles. This failure resulted from both the nearside and offside front tyres being below legal limits, alongside noted wear across all four brake discs. This suggests that while the vehicle was mechanically sound in previous years, the owner is now addressing critical wear items only upon MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. The vehicle's usage pattern is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,380 miles per year over its nine-year life. The data shows consistent low-mileage intervals between 2023 and 2025, where the car covered only 5,228 miles in a two-year period. However, low mileage does not negate mechanical reality; long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, and brake seals due to lack of use. The gap of 3,723 miles between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests shows steady low use, but the jump in wear items noted in the 2026 test suggests components are reaching their limit. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, as the tester flagged wear on all four discs during the latest test. Beyond simple pad thickness, one should check for pitted rotors or binding calipers that often result from inactivity. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the tyres for flat-spotting or sidew cracking, which are common in vehicles that sit for long durations. The recent failure on front tyres indicates the current set is likely at the end of its functional life, so an assessment of the remaining tread depth is required immediately upon purchase.
