2012 Maserati Granturismo S Semi-Auto 4.7L Petrol · BB11 MRA

This Maserati Granturismo has maintained a consistently clean MOT history across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 24 January 2026 at 28,701 miles resulting in no defects or advisories. The vehicle’s roadworthiness trend remains stable, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or progressive issues such as suspension degradation, binding brakes, or structural corrosion. The absence of advisories—particularly those related to emissions, exhaust integrity, or electrical systems—suggests the car has been subjected to regular, if not meticulous, servicing. However, the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, as high-performance vehicles like this often conceal wear in less obvious areas such as drivetrain components or advanced suspension systems. The recorded mileage of 28,701 miles over nearly 14 years equates to an average of approximately 2,050 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and class. The most notable gap in mileage occurs between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the odometer remained static at 26,049 miles for nearly a year before advancing to 26,068 miles by January 2023. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which could contribute to issues such as flat-spotted tyres, degraded suspension seals, or battery sulphation. The consistency of the mileage thereafter, with incremental increases of around 250–400 miles per year, implies recent use but does not rule out potential neglect during the stationary phase. Given the vehicle’s age and the absence of MOT advisories, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of dry rot or excessive wear—common in low-mileage vehicles left stationary for extended periods. The braking system warrants particular attention, especially the rear calipers and discs, as binding or uneven wear often develops subtly over time. Additionally, the exhaust system should be examined for corrosion or leaks, particularly around flanges and joints, while the electrical components—such as the battery, starter motor, and advanced driver-assistance systems—should be tested for functionality. The tyres, despite passing MOT tests, may show uneven wear or signs of age-related degradation, necessitating a check for remaining tread depth and structural integrity.
