MASERATI GRANCABRIO2016 · 4.7L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 25 2026, at 17,760 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a sharp decline in standards leading up to a failure just three weeks prior. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the preceding failure at 17,748 miles revealed a multitude of neglected mechanical and safety issues that suggest maintenance is only addressed when forced rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,776 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-use behavior, with only 233 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and just 192 miles recorded before the March 2026 test. This profile suggests the car sits for long periods of time, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the March 2026 failure flagged all four brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where brake pads rust against the discs due to lack of use. The headlamp cleaning system also requires scrutiny, as the previous failure reported missing jets and fluid leaks indicating perished seals or broken hardware. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for perishing and cracking, as the record noted sidew damage and age-related decay that indicate the rubber is failing regardless of the remaining tread depth.
