2007 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2L Petrol · LJ07 EYS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in March 2026 with 83,960 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a failure in March 2025. At that time, the car failed due to an insecure nearside front lower suspension arm, which was clearly rectified to allow for a clean pass a year later. This suggests the current owner is responsive to safety-critical failures once they are identified. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,960 miles represents a low usage pattern of approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-intensity travel, with only 387 miles covered between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. While low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain, the long intervals between periods of use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of metal surfaces, which is consistent with the structural issues noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and braking system. The records from 2022 and 2023 repeatedly flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, indicating that these components reach the end of their life cycle frequently. The 2023 test highlighted play in the steering rack inner joints and a corroded nearside rear coil spring. These areas should be checked for signs of renewed play or structural rust to ensure that previous repairs have not deteriorated into significant mechanical failures. The persistent front oil leak noted in 2022 and 2023 requires careful monitoring. Although the tester classified these leaks as not excessive, a long-term leak on a high-performance engine can indicate failing gaskets or oil seals that may eventually worsen. Inspect the engine bay for fresh oil pooling to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked a deeper underlying engine issue.
