2014 Maserati Quattroporte 3.8L Petrol · LH63 BVT

This 2014 Maserati Quattroporte passed its most recent MOT in November 2025, but only after failing the previous test just one day earlier. The immediate retest and pass suggest the issues were addressed quickly, though the pattern itself warrants scrutiny. The November 2025 failure revealed three separate concerns: a non-functioning nearside windscreen wiper, a nearside rear tyre with tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, and damage to the offside level sensor. The tyre failure is the most serious safety issue here. Tyres worn below minimum depth compromise braking performance and wet-weather grip, and the fact that one tyre had degraded this far suggests either hard use, neglect, or that the vehicle may have been standing for extended periods without proper maintenance. The wiper fault is a minor visibility defect, but its presence alongside the tyre issue points to a broader pattern of deferred maintenance rather than a single component failure. The offside level sensor damage appeared on both the failed and passed MOT records, meaning it was present but noted as damaged even after the retest. This component is part of the vehicle's suspension and self-levelling system, critical for handling and ride quality on a Maserati. Damage to this sensor should be inspected and repaired to prevent further suspension complications. Before November 2025, the MOT record is clean.
