2007 Maserati Granturismo 4.2L Petrol · DGM 258

The 2007 Maserati Granturismo currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in April 2022 at 92,006 miles, though the maintenance trend reveals a severe structural failure that was subsequently rectified. In the January 2021 test at 90,656 miles, the tester flagged fractured nearside and offside front coil springs, a critical defect that would have compromised the vehicle's structural integrity and safe operation. The car passed cleanly just over a year later in April 2022, indicating the broken springs were replaced. However, the recurring nature of other advisories suggests underlying wear patterns that a buyer must verify. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,842 miles annually. The record highlights a period of severe inactivity between June 2019 at 89,840 miles and January 2021 at 90,656 miles, during which the vehicle covered just 818 miles. This prolonged standing likely contributed to the fractured coil springs and the corrosion on the brake hose ferrules observed during the 2021 tests. The mileage then remained entirely static between the March 2021 test and the April 2022 test, indicating the vehicle has seen negligible use for over four years as of today. A physical inspection must prioritize the suspension and braking components. The tester flagged the offside rear shock absorber for oil misting and limited damping in both January and March 2021, a recurring mechanical issue that may have worsened during the subsequent four years of inactivity. Buyers should thoroughly inspect the condition of the replacement coil springs and the Macpherson strut lower pin or bush, which was worn in June 2018 at 88,191 miles. Uneven nearside front tyre wear appeared in both 2018 and 2021, suggesting potential alignment issues or degraded suspension bushes. The slight corrosion on the front brake hose ferrules also requires close examination, as corrosion can compromise braking performance over time.
