MASERATI GRANTURISMO2008 · 4.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 52,735 miles resulted in a pass with no defects. This follows a successful pass in November 2024 at 51,776 miles, indicating that the owner addressed the previous safety-critical issues that caused a failure earlier that year. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,930 miles per year. Data between October 2022 and November 2025 shows the car covered only 2,417 miles, suggesting it sits for long periods or is used only sparingly. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry, which is evident in the historical records of perishing tyres. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system due to recurring age-related wear. The November 2022 test at 50,318 miles flagged worn shock absorber bushes on both front sides and pitted rear brake discs. Although these appear resolved in recent tests, the low usage increases the likelihood of rubber bushings dry rotting or cracking rather than wearing. The failure in October 2024 for a nearside front tyre bulge, combined with previous advisories for perishing rear tyres, highlights that the tyres may be reaching their structural life limit regardless of remaining tread depth.
