2016 Maserati Quattroporte 3.0L Petrol · JPS 2

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to minor consumable neglect. While the car passed its tests between 2020 and 2023 without any defects, the August 2024 test at 8,843 miles flagged perishing on both nearside and offside front tyres alongside ineffective wiper blades. This suggests that while the mechanical components remain sound, the rubber elements are degrading due to stationary time. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 884 miles per year. The data shows a significant discrepancy between the July 2020 test at 11,610 miles and the July 2021 test at 7,644 miles, suggesting a potential recording error or a reversal in odometer readings. Since 2022, the vehicle has covered only 415 miles over two years. This low usage frequency often leads to secondary issues such as seals drying out or brake components seizing from lack of regular use. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and rubber bushings, as the 2024 advisory confirms age-related cracking regardless of the low tread depth. Because the car has sat for long periods, the inspector should check for corrosion on brake discs and ensure calipers are not binding. The suspension system also requires scrutiny for perished boots or cracks, as the low mileage has not prevented these components from aging over the decade.
