2016 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · EY16 MYM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 69,826 miles passed after resolving an inoperative engine malfunction light and worn brake discs. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of brake-related advisories suggests components are only being addressed once they approach failure limits. The overall condition appears stable but relies on the owner responding to specific faults flagged during the MOT process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered 7,342 miles, followed by just 2,678 miles in the year leading up to the December 2025 test. This lower annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the periods of lower usage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on unmoving parts, which may explain the pitting and scoring noted on the brake discs in the 2024 test. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the braking system as the record shows a progression from scoring and pitting in 2024 to being worn by late 2025. The tester should also check for binding calipers or uneven wear that might contribute to the premature disc degradation. The failure in December 2023 due to exposed ply cords and edge-wear highlights a previous lapse in basic tyre maintenance, so a thorough check of the current tyre brands and suspension alignment is necessary to ensure no underlying mechanical issues exist.
