2015 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · CE65 EYY

The 2015 Maserati Ghibli presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 2 January 2025 at 64,247 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is broadly improving. A minor advisory for rear tyre wear was noted in the June 2024 test at 63,036 miles, but this was evidently addressed before the most recent examination, suggesting the current keeper has kept on top of basic consumable upkeep. No structural, mechanical, or braking defects have ever appeared across the five tests in the record. The mileage accumulation tells a story of very light use. Covering just 12,000 miles between June 2022 at 46,723 miles and June 2024 at 63,036 miles indicates a period of increased activity, yet the annualised rate still averages only around 5,800 miles per year over the vehicle’s life. The 1,211-mile gap between the January 2025 test and today’s date of 16 June 2026 raises a question about whether the car has been sitting largely unused for the past seventeen months or whether it is being driven without a valid MOT. A buyer must verify the current test status immediately, as the January 2025 certificate expired on 1 January 2026. Despite the sparse defect history, the 2024 advisory for rear tyre wear close to the legal limit and worn on the edge warrants closer inspection. Edge wear on a rear-driven saloon of this power typically points to misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes rather than simple underinflation. A prospective buyer should have the rear suspension arms, bushings, and toe links inspected for play, and the rear subframe and jacking points checked for corrosion, which can be an issue on low-mileage cars that sit for long periods. The brake discs and pads should be measured, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion and uneven pad deposition even when mileage is low. The exhaust system, including the catalytic converters and Lambda sensors, should be scanned for fault codes, as short-trip driving can cause premature catalyst deterioration. Beyond the mechanical items, the bodywork and underbody deserve careful scrutiny. Low annual mileage often means the car has spent extended periods stationary, which can allow moisture to accumulate in door sills, boot floors, and around the wheel arches. Check for bubbling paint or surface corrosion on the front wings, rear arches, and beneath the boot carpet. The engine oil and coolant should be sampled or changed regardless of the clean MOT record, as infrequent use degrades fluid life faster than mileage alone would suggest. A full diagnostic scan of the Maserati’s electronic systems is also advisable, as intermittent faults may not trigger a dashboard warning light but can still affect drivability.
