MASERATI QUATTROPORTE2004 · 4.2L Petrol

This 2004 Maserati Quattroporte presents a mixed but revealing MOT history. The most recent test was a pass in August 2024, but it was not clean; advisories were noted for both front brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored. This means the braking system is a known area of wear that the seller has acknowledged but not rectified. The pattern of advisories and failures points strongly to recurring issues with the braking system, tyres, and lights. The brakes have been a persistent problem across multiple years, with discs and pads frequently noted as worn, pitted, or scored. The tyres, especially the rears, have repeatedly failed for low tread depth. The electrical system, particularly headlamps and washers/wipers, has also been a consistent source of failure items. The overall trend appears to be one of cyclical neglect followed by repair. The vehicle failed tests in 2023 and mid-2024 but passed on re-tests shortly after, indicating the minimum required work was done to get it through the test. However, recurring advisories for the same components (like brake discs) suggest that fundamental repairs may be deferred in favour of quick fixes to pass the MOT.
