2014 MASERATI GHIBLI3.0L Diesel

The 2014 Maserati Ghibli presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 September 2025 at 61,020 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in September 2024 and September 2023 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 6 September 2024 at 54,331 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed again one week later on 13 September 2024 at 54,672 miles. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage confirms very light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 42,486 miles in September 2022 to 47,570 in September 2023, then 54,331 in early September 2024 and 54,672 later that month, reaching 61,020 by September 2025. That averages roughly 5,085 miles per year. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect, though long stationary periods implied by low annual mileage can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to develop flat spots, and fluid degradation to go unnoticed between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the braking system, given the unexplained September 2024 failure. The tester logged no defects, yet a pass refusal without recorded faults warrants verification of the ABS, calipers, and disc condition. Suspension bushes and coil springs on a Maserati of this age deserve physical checks for corrosion and fatigue, as the MOT record does not capture latent wear below advisory thresholds. Given the low mileage and clean history since 2022, the Ghibli shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring alarm. The owner maintained test currency annually with only the anomalous 2024 refusal. Prospective buyers should confirm service intervals were kept despite low use, as infrequent operation risks expired lubricants and perished rubber components not visible in the MOT data.
