2009 Maserati Granturismo 4.7L Petrol · LJ59 EEU

The Maserati GranTurismo presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status. The most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 42,674 miles passed cleanly with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle is in good mechanical order today. The maintenance trend over the past four years is clearly improving. A failure on 31 March 2025 at 42,532 miles flagged a leaking nearside rear hydraulic brake caliper at the inner bleed nipple area, a defect that was rectified before the retest passed the following day on 2 April 2025. Since that repair, two consecutive clean passes suggest the braking system and wider mechanical components have been properly maintained. The mileage pattern tells a consistent story of very low annual use. Across seventeen years, the odometer has advanced just 440 miles between the December 2023 test at 42,455 miles and the March 2026 test at 42,674 miles. Annual accumulation sits at roughly 2,510 miles, well below the UK average. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data. The mileage progression is steady and entirely plausible for a sparingly driven grand tourer. Despite the clean recent record, the 2025 brake caliper failure warrants attention during any in-person inspection. A buyer should examine the nearside rear caliper closely for signs of residual fluid seepage, corrosion around the bleed nipple, and the condition of the flexible brake hose that feeds it. The rear brake discs and pads should be measured for uneven wear, as a binding caliper often leaves telltale scoring or lipping on the disc faces. Given the car’s low mileage and potential for long stationary periods, a thorough underbody inspection is also advisable. Check the subframes, suspension mounting points, and jacking points for surface corrosion, and inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish from age and lack of use rather than mileage. Tyre date codes should be read carefully, as rubber older than six years can crack and delaminate even with ample tread depth remaining.
