2014 Maserati Granturismo 4.7L Petrol · WA14 AOB

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 55,966 miles. The prior three tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2023-04-06 at 49,943 miles—despite no defects listed—suggests potential procedural anomalies or unrecorded concerns. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests implies the car has remained in acceptable condition, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny for possible unresolved issues. The recorded mileage of 55,966 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 4,664 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. This low mileage may indicate periods of inactivity, increasing risks of fluid degradation, battery drain, and corrosion in stationary components. Notably, the 2023-04-06 test occurred just 32 miles after the previous 2022-03-24 test, suggesting a short interval between assessments, which could reflect cautious ownership or intermittent use. The clean record post-2023-04-06 implies no major mechanical deterioration, but the sparse data from 2023 raises questions about the car’s usage history. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may degrade during prolonged inactivity. Corrosion in underbody areas and exhaust systems should also be checked, as low mileage can mask hidden rust. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is advised to confirm no binding or uneven wear. Additionally, verifying the battery’s condition and fluid levels—critical for vehicles with low usage—will provide a clearer picture of the car’s mechanical state.
