2007 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE4.2L PETROL

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2007 Maserati Quattroporte presents a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent test, conducted on 29 May 2026 at 78,501 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet is a significant improvement over the June 2023 test, which flagged corrosion on both nearside and offside front integral body structure areas, along with inner edge wear on both front tyres. The absence of any new advisories or failures in the 2026 test suggests the corrosion was addressed and the tyre wear issue resolved, indicating attentive recent ownership. The mileage pattern reveals a notably low annual accumulation of roughly 4,132 miles over nineteen years, consistent with light use or extended periods of standing. A substantial gap exists between the June 2021 test at 71,695 miles and the June 2023 test at 77,969 miles, representing approximately 6,274 miles accumulated over two years. However, the mileage then plateaued dramatically, with only 542 miles added between June 2023 and May 2026. This sharp drop in usage raises the question of prolonged inactivity, which can cause its own issues such as deteriorated rubber components, stale fuel, and surface corrosion on brake discs despite the low recorded mileage. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the front end structure and suspension. Although the 2023 corrosion advisory on the integral body structure did not result in a failure, any repaired or treated areas must be examined for sound welding and proper rust proofing. The inner edge wear on both front tyres flagged in 2023 points to potential tracking or suspension geometry issues; a fresh four-wheel alignment check is advisable to confirm the problem has not recurred. Given the very low recent mileage, all rubber bushes, hoses, and seals should be inspected for perishing caused by age rather than wear. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface corrosion from standing, and the exhaust system examined for any signs of moisture ingress or corrosion during dormant periods.
