2008 Maserati Granturismo 4.2L Petrol · LX08 KKU

This 2008 Maserati Granturismo has covered only 42,840 miles in its 18-year life, averaging roughly 2,380 miles per year. While this is exceptionally low mileage, the MOT history suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods standing idle, which can be just as damaging to mechanical components as heavy use. The most recent MOT from March 2026 shows a recurring issue with the front shock absorber bushes, which were also noted as worn in July 2025. This indicates a stable but unresolved fault that will eventually require replacement to maintain handling precision and prevent uneven tyre wear. The history reveals a clear pattern of age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. The recurring notes regarding corroded rear coil springs in 2021 and 2022 point to the car being parked for extended durations, likely in damp conditions. While these items were not flagged in the most recent tests, the presence of surface corrosion on suspension components is a common side effect of low-usage vehicles. The tyre wear noted in late 2023 suggests the car may have been sitting on the same set of tyres for a long time or that the alignment has been neglected due to lack of regular movement. Because the car has barely been driven between 2021 and 2026, you should be wary of rubber components, seals, and bushings that may have perished or hardened despite the low odometer reading. The overall trend is stable, as the car continues to pass its MOTs, but the recurring suspension bush advisories indicate that the chassis is beginning to show its age.
