MASERATI QUATTROPORTE S2010 · 4.7L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-10-06 at 97,460 miles with a non-excessive oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)). This follows four consecutive annual passes with no recorded defects since 2021, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The 2021 test noted slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage (5.3.4 (a) (i)), a minor suspension concern that has not resurfaced in subsequent inspections. The absence of recurring advisories or escalating issues suggests the car has been maintained to a standard sufficient for roadworthiness, though the oil leak warrants scrutiny for its source and potential impact on engine longevity. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,091 miles annually. The 2025 test occurred just 7 months prior to the current date, reflecting consistent annual servicing intervals. Mileage increased by 1,711 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, a rate consistent with prior years. No abrupt jumps or prolonged inactivity are evident, suggesting regular use without excessive wear acceleration. The lack of advisories in recent tests implies the owner has addressed basic maintenance needs, though the oil leak may indicate either routine maintenance lapses or a developing mechanical issue requiring closer examination. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the oil leak’s origin, particularly the engine’s gaskets or seals, as persistent leakage could signal impending failure. The anti-roll bar linkage, though previously minor, should be checked for play or wear, given the car’s age and the potential for suspension component fatigue. Brake discs and calipers merit inspection for warping or binding, even though no advisories were logged, as older vehicles often develop hidden brake issues. Structural rust on the chassis or undercarriage should be assessed, especially if the car has spent time in damp conditions. Finally, exhaust emissions and catalytic converter functionality should be verified, as the oil leak could introduce contaminants affecting emissions compliance.
