Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent MOT in March 2026 resulted in a pass, but it noted tyre damage, specifically cuts on the nearside front and offside rear tyres. There is a clear and recurring pattern of tyre-related issues. The vehicle has failed MOT tests in both 2024 and 2025 due to tyre defects, including cuts and instances where the ply or cords were exposed. This indicates a repeated history of sidewall damage or significant tyre wear. The trend appears to be fluctuating in severity. While the vehicle progressed from failures involving exposed cords in 2024 and 2025 to a pass in 2026, the continued presence of tyre cuts suggests that the issue of tyre damage remains an ongoing concern. With approximately 19,816 miles recorded over five years, the mileage is low for the age of the vehicle, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. While this suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, low mileage can sometimes mean the vehicle sits for long periods, which can affect tyre health, or it may simply reflect occasional use. A buyer should prioritize a close physical inspection of all four tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cuts, bulges, or signs of perishing. You should also check the tread depth on all tyres to ensure they are not worn close to the legal limit.

Our Verdict

Approach with caution and budget for tyre and suspension checks before purchase. This 2021 Maserati Quattroporte has passed its most recent MOT but shows a repeated pattern of tyre-related defects that warrants closer inspection.

Before buying, insist on seeing the full service history for this 2,979cc petrol Quattroporte, as Maserati maintenance intervals are strict and gaps can be costly. The repeated tyre failures in 2024 and 2025 suggest the car may have been driven on worn or damaged tyres, so confirm with the seller whether wheels were aligned and suspension checked after those defects were found. Negotiate on the basis of the 2026 MOT advisory cuts on the front nearside and offside rear tyres, which will need replacing soon.

As a 2,979cc Euro 6 AP petrol saloon, this Quattroporte will sit in a high VED band and carry a high insurance group typical of luxury performance cars. Fuel economy will be poor relative to smaller saloons due to the six-cylinder engine and vehicle weight. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance are likely to be in the region of £3,500-£5,000 given the brand and engine size.

The MOT history shows this vehicle failed in March 2024 and February 2025 with exposed tyre ply or cords on multiple axles, and had edge wear and cuts on the offside front in 2024, so physically inspect all four tyres for uneven wear, inner-edge damage and previous repair. Check the suspension and wheel alignment, as repeated tyre failures on a low-mileage car can indicate tracking or bush issues. Verify the 2026 advisories — nearside front and offside rear cuts — are cosmetic only and not near the legal limit.

This blue 2021 Maserati Quattroporte (AA21YUB) has covered just 19,816 miles in five years, which is low for its age. The MOT history shows two failures in 2024 and 2025, both caused by tyre condition issues including exposed ply or cords, though the most recent 2026 test passed with only minor non-structural cuts noted. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual history.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Maserati Quattroporte, so this assessment is based only on the individual vehicle's test history.
