2010 Maserati Grancabrio Auto 4.7L Petrol · GT59 MAS

The Maserati GranCabrio presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 47,081 miles showing no defects or advisories whatsoever. This aligns with the preceding four tests— 16 January 2024 (46,490 miles) , 16 January 2023 (43,446 miles) , 18 January 2022 (40,974 miles) , and 26 November 2020 (40,120 miles) —all of which also passed without any recorded issues. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has either been meticulously maintained by previous owners or, more likely, stored for extended periods with minimal use. The trend is stable, with no signs of recurring mechanical or structural concerns, though the lack of advisories also means there’s no historical data to confirm whether minor wear items (such as suspension bushes or brake components) have been proactively addressed. The mileage accumulation of 2,943 miles per year over 16 years is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, particularly one of Maserati’s calibre. The gap between 26 November 2020 (40,120 miles) and 18 January 2022 (40,974 miles) —just 854 miles in nearly 14 months —indicates prolonged periods of inactivity, while the subsequent tests show similarly slow increases. This pattern raises questions about whether the car has been driven regularly or stored for long stretches, which could mask underlying issues that might emerge under more typical usage. The absence of mileage spikes or rapid degradation in the MOT records supports the idea of light use, but it also means there’s no evidence of how components like seals, gaskets, or fluid systems would perform under heavier conditions. Given the complete lack of recorded defects or advisories, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas not routinely checked in an MOT. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension geometry and bushings , as low-mileage storage can lead to stiffness or degradation in rubber components even without active wear. The brake system —including calipers, discs, and hydraulic lines—should be inspected for corrosion or fluid leaks, especially if the car has spent time in damp or salty environments. The exhaust system may also warrant closer examination, as rust or fatigue cracks can develop insidiously when a vehicle sits unused. Finally, the engine bay should be checked for fluid leaks, hose condition, and signs of oil consumption, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage scenarios but can still indicate deeper issues. While the MOT history is flawless, the unusual mileage pattern justifies extra scrutiny to ensure no hidden problems have gone unaddressed.
