2015 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · FN65 OMV

The 2015 Maserati Ghibli presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness picture as of its most recent test. The October 2025 pass at 48,229 miles was completely clean, recording zero defects or advisories, which indicates the vehicle met all DVSA standards at that point. The maintenance trend is broadly improving. A pattern of minor, intermittent electrical faults in 2023 and 2024 was successfully resolved ahead of the 2025 test, suggesting attentive remedial work rather than deferred issues. Mileage accumulation is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,384 miles per year. The record shows a steady but gentle climb from 42,673 miles in October 2023 to 44,804 miles by October 2024, then holding at 48,229 miles through October 2025. That final figure suggests the car covered approximately 3,400 miles over a twelve-month window before the most recent test, after which the recorded mileage remained static. Such a pattern is consistent with light, discretionary use rather than daily commuting. Low annual mileage can preserve mechanical components but also raises the question of prolonged standing periods, which may affect tyre age, brake surface corrosion, and fluid condition. The historical failures were confined to dashboard warning lamp circuits rather than structural or mechanical defects. In October 2024, the tester flagged a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp. A year earlier, in October 2023, the supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicated a fault. All three items were rectified before the subsequent retests, and no recurring pattern of suspension wear, brake deterioration, exhaust corrosion, or structural rust appears anywhere on the record. For a performance saloon of this age and value, that is a positive indicator of competent ownership. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully interrogate. Check the condition and date stamps of all four tyres, as low-mileage vehicles often run on aged rubber with adequate tread but degraded sidewalls. Inspect brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for any deterioration that low annual mileage might mask. Verify the operation of the TPMS and confirm no SRS or MIL warning lamps illuminate on the dashboard. Given the clean record, the primary risk is not chronic mechanical neglect but the subtle effects of infrequent use on consumable components and rubber parts.
