This Maserati GranCabrio presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with every test since 2022—including the most recent on 4 March 2026 at 7,503 miles —resulting in a full pass with no advisories or defects. The absence of even minor recurring issues such as tyre wear, brake binding, or suspension component degradation suggests either meticulous maintenance or very light usage. Such a flawless record is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and specification, particularly given the GranCabrio’s performance-oriented suspension and braking systems, which typically demand more frequent checks. The stability of the results over three years—spanning 1,485 miles of cumulative travel—indicates no deterioration in structural integrity, emissions compliance, or core mechanical systems.
The vehicle’s mileage profile is highly unusual for its age, with just 7,503 miles logged over seven years, averaging a mere 1,072 miles annually . This suggests either extended periods of disuse or exceptionally light driving, particularly when compared to the 5,018-mile figure from July 2022—a gap of 1,989 miles over three years without a single MOT defect. The lack of mileage accumulation raises questions about whether the car has been stored for long periods, which could accelerate issues like tyre degradation, battery health, or fluid breakdown even if no mechanical faults have yet appeared. The consistency in mileage increments— 886 miles between August 2024 and March 2026 —further implies minimal recent use, a factor that may have preserved components but also means some wear items (e.g., brake fluid, suspension grease) could now be past their optimal service intervals.
For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on components that degrade even with low mileage: the brake system , including caliper condition, pad thickness, and fluid condition, given the GranCabrio’s high-performance brakes. The suspension —particularly the coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—should be inspected for stiffness or wear, as these are prone to deterioration even under light use due to environmental exposure. Tyres , despite no MOT flags, warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear or age-related cracking, especially if stored for extended periods. The exhaust system and emissions compliance appear sound based on the records, but a visual check for corrosion or leaks is prudent. Finally, given the low mileage, the battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake, and differential oils) may require verification, as these can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. The absence of MOT advisories is a strong indicator of underlying mechanical health, but the unusual usage pattern means some proactive checks are still essential.
