2009 Maserati Quattroporte 4.7L Petrol · GN59 FPV

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised following a significant failure in the most recent inspection. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the December 2022 test at 43,877 miles revealed a shift toward mechanical and structural neglect. The failure of both front coil springs alongside an active system warning lamp indicates that the vehicle was not fit for the road at that time, suggesting a worsening trend in safety-critical maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Data shows a long period of minimal use between 2018 and 2022, where the car covered only 4,107 miles over four years. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid systems. The gap between the 2020 pass and the December 2022 failure suggests the vehicle sat for extended periods, which likely contributed to the corrosion issues observed. A buyer must conduct a thorough structural inspection of the front and rear subframes, as the 2022 report flagged them as very rusty. This corrosion is a primary concern for the long-term integrity of the chassis. Furthermore, the ABS fault requires a professional diagnostic to determine if the issue is a simple sensor failure or a deeper hydraulic problem. The recurring advisories for worn rear tyres in both 2020 and 2022 indicate a pattern of deferred consumable maintenance, which necessitates a full check of the suspension geometry and braking components for uneven wear.
