2007 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2L Petrol · HX07 RCU

The 2007 Maserati Quattroporte's most recent MOT (May 2026) passed with a single advisory for a worn offside rear inner tyre. That is a minor, easy-to-fix item and suggests the car has just completed a clean annual test. The real concern is a November 2023 failure, where all four coil springs were found fractured or broken, and the ABS warning lamp indicated a fault. Every spring on the car failed at the same time. That pattern strongly points to a neglected or corroded suspension, not typical wear. The subsequent January 2024 pass shows these major defects were repaired, but the question is how thoroughly and with what quality parts. After that repair, the 2026 pass with only a tyre advisory suggests the car has been mechanically stable for the last two and a half years. The overall trend is now stable, provided the replacement work was done properly. There is no evidence of a worsening cycle of failures. The recorded mileage is about 3,540 miles per year, which is low for a 19-year-old car.
