2017 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · AF67 BNU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy certificate, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed the most recent January 2026 test at 74,650 miles, this followed a failure on the same day for critical safety items. The failure revealed a front tyre with exposed cords and thin rear brake pads, alongside pitted brake discs. This suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a legal failure point rather than performing scheduled service intervals. At 74,650 miles over nine years, the Maserati has averaged approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a luxury saloon. However, there is a significant gap in records between September 2024 and January 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 16,000 miles in just sixteen months. This recent burst of mileage, combined with the rapid wear of brake components and tyres noted in early 2026, indicates that the vehicle's consumable parts are under significant stress due to recent high-distance driving patterns. A buyer must inspect the suspension and steering assembly thoroughly. The February 2024 failure flagged a serious fluid leak from the offside rear shock absorber and deteriorated track rod end ball joint dust covers. While these were reportedly repaired, the recurring nature of rubber-related failures suggests the suspension components may be nearing their service life. One should also verify the condition of the braking system, as the pitting and scoring on the discs noted in January 2026 indicate corrosion or overheating, which can lead to poor stopping performance if not replaced.
