2016 Maserati Granturismo 4.7L Petrol · GK16 BFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 41,551 miles shows a pass following a failure three days prior. While the owner addressed the inoperative headlamp cleaning device, the tester noted play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints and continued wear on the front brake discs. This suggests that mechanical components are only serviced once they reach the point of an MOT failure. At 41,551 miles over ten years, the car has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,155 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. Evidence appears in the 2025 test at 39,095 miles where the nearside front tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing despite low mileage. The gaps between annual tests suggest the vehicle may sit for long periods, which can cause seals to dry and tyres perish regardless of the distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the recurring reports of worn ball joints in 2026 indicate a developing trend of component fatigue. The front brake discs have been flagged as worn across every recorded test since 2024, suggesting they are nearing the end of their functional life and may require immediate replacement. Additionally, the buyer should check all tyres for signs of sidewall cracking or bulging, as the previous record confirms the vehicle is susceptible to age-related tyre failure due to low use patterns.
