2018 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Petrol · BN68 RXY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 31 October 2022 at 92,145 miles passed with no recorded defects, immediately following a failure just three days prior. This sequence suggests that the owner was willing to rectify identified issues once flagged by the tester rather than maintaining the vehicle in a compliant state prior to the inspection. At 92,145 miles over eight years, the Ghibli averages approximately 11,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a luxury tourer. There is a significant gap in data between the September 2021 test at 67,690 miles and the October 2022 test, during which the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in just thirteen months. This period of high-intensity use likely accelerated the wear on consumable-related components, evidenced by the offside rear tyre falling below the legal 1.6mm limit during the 2022 failure. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lighting assemblies and tyre condition. The failure in 2022 for multiple inoperative registration plate lamps suggests a potential issue with wiring corrosion or simply neglected bulb replacements that were previously ignored. Given the high mileage and the nature of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and brake hardware is essential, as these components often show significant degradation around the 90,000-mile threshold which is not captured in a standard MOT test.
