2009 Maserati Granturismo 4.2L Petrol · RX58 AET

This vehicle presents a consistent record of roadworthiness with a predominantly clean history, culminating in a defect-free pass on 24 March 2025. Aside from a single failure in March 2023, the testing trend has remained stable, with the majority of annual inspections recording no defects or advisories. The 2023 failure was primarily related to tyre tread depth and a malfunctioning windscreen washer jet, both of which were rectified for the subsequent pass. An accumulation of only 29,206 miles over seventeen years represents a low annual average of approximately 1,718 miles. Such a usage profile indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used sparingly. Mechanically, this low-mileage history shifts the focus from wear-and-tear on drivetrain components to the potential degradation of rubber components and seals that can occur due to inactivity rather than distance. Attention should be directed toward the condition of the tyres, as the record shows a dangerous failure for tread depth on the offside rear and a subsequent advisory for perishing on the nearside front in 2024. During a physical inspection, examine all tyre sidewalls and treads for signs of cracking or flat-spotting. Additionally, verify that the windscreen washer system is fully operational, specifically the nearside front jet which was previously flagged as a major defect. On a test drive, focus on confirming the absence of binding calipers or uneven tyre wear, which can occur in vehicles with low annual usage. Listen for any knocks or clicks from the suspension over undulating surfaces to ensure the suspension bushes have not perished due to age. Ensure the steering is centered and there is no pull to either side, which would indicate issues with the tyre condition or alignment.
