2009 Maserati Quattroporte 4.7L Petrol · LJ59 EES

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status because the most recent MOT was conducted nearly four years ago. While the car passed the test in August 2022 at 24,061 miles, this followed a comprehensive failure just five days prior. The 2022 failure revealed multiple mechanical and electrical defects, including an inoperative parking brake and lighting alignment issues. Given that no tests are recorded since mid-2022, the vehicle is likely long out of test, leaving its current mechanical state and safety compliance unknown. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,415 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded mileage between October 2019 and July 2022, during which the car covered only 2,976 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components. The 2022 advisory regarding a perished and cracked offside front tyre confirms this concern, as the rubber suffered age-related decay despite the low distance driven. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the parking brake system, as the 2022 failure noted it was inoperative on one side and lacked overall efficiency. Low-use vehicles frequently suffer from seized brake calipers and corroded lines due to lack of use. You should also examine the condition of all tyres for sidewall cracking and verify the functionality of the LED headlamp cleaning devices and wiper blades, which were previously points of failure. Because the car lacks recent testing data, a professional check for structural corrosion and fluid leaks is essential to ensure the long periods of storage have not hidden mechanical deterioration.
