2007 Maserati Quattroporte 4.2L Petrol · LJ07 EYX

The most recent MOT, dated 2026-01-19, passed but noted several specific issues. The recurring mechanical pattern involves wear on suspension components, specifically ball joints in both the front and rear, and worn bushes on the lower shock absorbers on both the nearside and offside fronts. Tyre wear on the nearside front is also noted as being close to the legal limit. The trend in the MOT history shows that while the vehicle has passed inspections, there are specific wear items being flagged, suggesting ongoing component wear rather than an immediate worsening trend, although the presence of ball joint play indicates existing wear that needs attention. The mileage of 79,146 miles over approximately 19 years suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 4,166 miles per year, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing. This lower mileage might mean less overall wear on consumables compared to a higher mileage vehicle of the same age, but it does not negate the specific wear noted in the latest inspection. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the ball joints and shock absorber bushes, thoroughly. They must also check the condition of the nearside front tyre and examine the brake discs noted in the earlier history to ensure they are not significantly weakened.
