2009 MASERATI GRANTURISMO4.7L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-28 confirmed the 2009 Maserati GranTurismo passed with 34,511 miles, but a prior failure on 2026-05-27 revealed a nearside front tyre bulge, a critical safety defect linked to structural separation. This suggests the vehicle may have been driven with compromised tyres, risking sudden failure. The bulge was likely addressed before the subsequent pass, but the proximity of the failure and pass raises questions about the urgency of repairs. Recurring issues include tyre wear and brake hose corrosion. The 2024-05-02 MOT noted nearside and offside rear tyres worn close to legal limits, along with multiple brake hose ferrules showing slight corrosion. These indicate ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for tyres and braking components. While the 2025-05-14 MOT flagged a rear brake disc pitting, this was not deemed serious. Overall, the pattern shows minor, manageable defects rather than systemic failure. The vehicle’s mileage of 34,511 miles over 17 years equates to roughly 2,030 miles annually, far below average for its age. This low usage could mean lighter wear on high-mileage components like suspension or engines but may also suggest periods of inactivity, increasing risks of tyre degradation, fluid stagnation, or corrosion.
