2017 Maserati Grancabrio 4.7L Petrol · D4 TDM

The most recent MOT (22 Dec 2025) passed at 14,043 mi, but flagged a light misting of oil on the off‑side rear shock absorber. This is the only defect recorded across five tests, so the vehicle’s overall MOT record is clean apart from that minor suspension note. The pattern is essentially stable – no new faults have appeared since 2021 and the only recurring issue is the rear shock oil leak noted in the latest test. There is no sign of a worsening trend, but the shock‑absorber condition should be confirmed. At roughly 1,560 mi per year, the 2017 Maserati Grancabrio has very low mileage for its age. Low use can mean reduced wear on drivetrain, brakes and suspension, but it may also suggest long periods of inactivity, which can lead to corrosion or rubber ageing. The mileage alone does not prove hard use, but it does imply that many wear‑items may still have significant life left, provided the car has been stored properly. First‑hand checks should focus on the rear suspension: look for oil stains, dampness or leaking fluid around the off‑side rear shock and test ride for any noise or harshness. Also inspect the overall condition of the shock absorbers, tyres, brakes and under‑carriage for signs of rust or neglect that can accompany low‑use vehicles. If the shock issue is minor and the car is otherwise well maintained, the low mileage could be a genuine advantage.
