2005 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2L Petrol · EY54 FLH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 November 2025 at 40,836 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance standards compared to the 2023 testing cycle. The transition from multiple failures in August and September 2023 to a clean pass in 2024 and 2025 indicates that previous mechanical neglect, specifically regarding the braking system and suspension components, has been addressed. The current status suggests the vehicle has been brought up to a reliable roadworthy standard following the intensive repairs required two years ago. The recorded mileage of 40,836 over twenty-one years averages approximately 1,945 miles per annum, confirming a pattern of very light usage. While low mileage often suggests a well-preserved vehicle, the MOT history from 2023 reveals the risks associated with long periods of inactivity, particularly the corrosion flagged on the sub-frame and suspension components. The lack of mileage accumulation between 2024 and 2025 suggests the car remains a low-use machine, which necessitates a careful check for components that may have seized or perished due to infrequent operation rather than high-mileage wear. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the areas previously flagged for corrosion, specifically the front and rear suspension assemblies and the front sub-frame. Although these passed the most recent inspection, surface oxidation can progress rapidly on older Italian luxury vehicles if stored in damp conditions. Verify that the brake discs and calipers, which required significant intervention in 2023, operate smoothly without signs of binding or scoring. Given the age and the history of washer system failures and perished tyre sidewalls, confirm that all ancillary electrical systems and rubber components remain supple and functional, as these are common failure points for vehicles that spend substantial time in storage.
