2014 Maserati Quattroporte 3.0L Petrol · FJ64 AHD

The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte with 55,110 miles is currently roadworthy, as confirmed by its most recent MOT on 2025-06-04. However, the maintenance trend is ambiguous due to conflicting data. A failed test on 2024-05-29 at 46,724 miles recorded no defects, which is unusual and may indicate an administrative error. The subsequent pass on 2024-05-29 at 46,725 miles suggests a possible duplicate entry or misalignment in the records. No critical issues were flagged in the 2023 or 2022 tests, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical history. The vehicle’s mileage of 55,110 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 4,592 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This low usage may indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. Notably, the gap between the 2022-12-19 test (34,174 miles) and 2023-06-27 test (38,576 miles) spans six months with only 4,402 miles, raising questions about the vehicle’s usage pattern. The rapid accumulation of 8,149 miles between 2023 and 2024, followed by 8,385 miles by 2025, suggests intermittent use rather than consistent driving. Buyers should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude hidden issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may require a test drive. Structural corrosion is another concern, particularly if the car was stored in damp conditions. The 2024 failed test’s unexplained nature warrants verification with the DVSA, as it could mask underlying problems. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the vehicle’s integrity.
