2016 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Petrol · KE14 ANS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 22 May 2026 at 54,780 miles. While the most recent result indicates a minor electrical fault was rectified after a failure for a non-functional and dimmed offside rear position lamp, the overall maintenance trend shows a history of reactive neglect. The records from March and April 2025 reveal a cluster of mechanical and wear-related issues that were only addressed after failing testing, rather than through preventative maintenance. At 54,780 miles over ten years, the Maserati reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles. However, the mileage data shows a significant spike in usage between April 2025 and May 2026, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in just thirteen months. This pattern suggests long periods of inactivity followed by high-intensity driving, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals, a condition consistent with the various suspension issues noted in the history. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2025 tests repeatedly flagged the offside front upper suspension arm ball joint for play and the track rod end dust cover for damage, alongside misting on the offside front shock absorber. The braking system also shows a history of fluctuating front discs and binding rear calipers, indicating either warped rotors or seized pistons. Given the previous failure for an inoperative engine management-indicator light in March 2025, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no underlying fault codes remain in the engine management system.
