2017 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · BJ67 DZD

The Maserati Ghibli presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 28 February 2025 at 46,140 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant. The previous test in March 2024 at 41,629 miles flagged both front tyres worn close to legal limits, yet by the 2025 test those tyres had been replaced and no new advisories appeared. This suggests the last owner addressed the wear items promptly rather than deferring them, which is a positive indicator of responsible upkeep on a vehicle where neglected consumables can escalate quickly. The mileage pattern reveals a notable acceleration in use over the car's life. Between November 2021 and June 2022, the car covered roughly 1,800 miles in seven months. Then from June 2022 to March 2023 it added over 5,000 miles in nine months, and from March 2023 to March 2024 it jumped by nearly 11,300 miles in a single year. That final annual increment is roughly double the car's lifetime average of approximately 5,127 miles per year. The MOT record cannot explain the shift, but the sudden increase in wear-and-tear demand on a 3.0-litre diesel or V6 petrol drivetrain warrants closer scrutiny of whether servicing kept pace with the heavier use. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and brake components. The recurring front tyre wear noted in March 2024, particularly the edge wear pattern, can point to misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or deteriorating top mounts. Even though the tyres were replaced before the 2025 test, the underlying cause may not have been corrected. Check the inner edges of the current front tyres for uneven wear and have the four-wheel alignment verified. Inspect the front brake discs and pads for uneven scoring or lipping, as Maserati braking systems on this platform are known to develop sticking caliper sliders that cause asymmetric pad wear. The minor windscreen stone chip from November 2021 appears to have been tolerated rather than repaired; examine whether it has spread into a crack, as replacement windscreens on the Ghibli involve the rain sensor and ADAS camera calibration, making it an expensive repair if overlooked.
