2016 Maserati Quattroporte 3.0L Petrol · BB16 MAS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in late March 2026, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test at 110,457 miles cleared the immediate faults, the failure just six days prior at 110,000 miles revealed critical issues including a structural tyre bulge and lighting misalignment. The trend shows that the owner only addresses defects once they result in an MOT failure, suggesting that basic safety inspections of consumable items may be neglected between annual tests. At 110,457 miles, the Maserati averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK annual usage for a luxury saloon of this age. The data shows a significant surge in usage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered 22,555 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation of mileage places considerable stress on high-performance suspension components and braking elements. The subsequent interval of 22,867 miles leading to the 2026 test confirms this high usage profile, which accelerates the wear on mechanical consumables. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and tyre assemblies, as the previous failure for a nearside rear bulge indicates potential impact damage or poor tyre quality leading to structural failure. The 2025 advisory regarding low dip beams suggests a close ground clearance, which warrants a check for worn suspension bushings or sagging coil springs that could compromise the vehicle's geometry. Given the recurring issues with registration plates and lighting aim, the buyer should also verify the integrity of the external trim and the alignment of the headlight assemblies to ensure no further electrical or mechanical instabilities remain.
