2016 Maserati Granturismo 4.7L Petrol · AF16 HXH

A consistent run of clean test passes defines the official MOT history of this Maserati, culminating in a successful examination on April 30, 2026, at 18,013 miles. Across seven recorded tests spanning from May 2019 onward, the vehicle has never recorded a single MOT failure and accumulated only two minor advisories, both noting that engine covers and protective under trays were fitted and obscured components during inspection. This establishes an unbroken baseline of regulatory roadworthiness compliance, though statutory inspections verify only basic safety standards at a single point in time rather than comprehensive mechanical health. With roughly 1,801 miles covered per year over its ten-year lifespan, the vehicle presents an unusually low annual mileage accumulation profile. This restricted usage pattern means the car has spent extended periods inactive or operating on short journeys where engine oils, exhaust systems, and drivetrain components may not reach optimal operating temperatures regularly. While the testing cadence has remained regular apart from a slight reporting interval adjustment in late 2021, buyers must verify whether this sparse road use corresponds with intermittent servicing or prolonged static storage. Because the under trays have consistently obscured the underside during recent inspections, physical scrutiny of hidden mechanical areas is essential during a pre-purchase inspection. On a test drive, listen carefully for any metallic clunks, knocks, or excessive harshness from the suspension linkages and wishbones over undulating road surfaces, as low-mileage rubber bushes can degrade and harden with age rather than dynamic wear. Pay close attention to the braking system for any pedal vibration, binding calipers, or uneven pad wear, and check for any fluid seepage around the engine and transmission once the car has been brought up to operating temperature. Evaluating the health of high-value ancillary systems is equally critical for this model given its age and restricted usage. Ensure that all electronic modules, climate control functions, and the infotainment interface operate without fault, as intermittent electrical issues can arise from low-use vehicles with sporadic charging cycles. A comprehensive mechanical inspection on a ramp with the protective under trays removed is strongly advised to inspect the structural subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points for any hidden corrosion or perished rubber before finalizing a purchase.
