2011 Maserati Granturismo 4.7L Gas bi-fuel · VX61 FXH

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-29 shows the 2011 Maserati GranTurismo passed with no defects recorded at 55,084 miles. This suggests the vehicle is currently in acceptable condition, but the history reveals recurring issues that require scrutiny. The 2020-11-30 MOT failed due to a fractured offside front coil spring (5.3.1 (b) (i)), a structural defect that could compromise suspension integrity and handling. A separate failure on 2020-12-01 noted offside front tyre wear on the inner tread, likely linked to alignment or suspension misalignment. These issues were addressed by 2020-12-01, as the subsequent MOT passed without defects. However, the 2019-11-29 MOT included two failures for headlamp aim too high, which are less critical but indicate maintenance oversights. The pattern shows intermittent but serious defects, particularly the coil spring fracture and tyre wear, which may point to underlying suspension or alignment problems. While the 2026 MOT is clean, the vehicle’s age (15 years) and low mileage (3,672 miles per year) suggest it may have experienced periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like tyres, fluids, and suspension bushings. Low mileage does not inherently guarantee better condition, especially if the car was stored for extended periods. The trend appears stable since the 2020 failures, with no further defects reported in the 2026 MOT.
