2014 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Petrol · LJ64 EGK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in March 2025 at 43,777 miles with minor defects related to front brake disc condition and inner-edge wear on both front tyres. These issues are not critical but indicate uneven loading, alignment problems, or prolonged static periods affecting tyre deformation. The test history shows a generally stable maintenance trend: two of the last three tests had no recorded defects, and previous failures were limited to lighting components, which were quickly rectified. The immediate roadworthiness is acceptable, though the recurrence of tyre wear patterns suggests underlying geometry or suspension setup concerns. The car has accumulated 43,777 miles over approximately twelve years, averaging just under 3,650 miles per year—significantly lower than typical for its age. This low usage pattern is consistent across the MOT timeline, with only 1,908 miles added between February 2024 and March 2025, and similar gradual increases in prior years. There are no unexplained gaps in testing, and the annual submissions align closely with the due dates, indicating regular use without extended dormant phases. However, low mileage combined with high-value components like air suspension or brake hydraulics raises potential concerns about infrequent operation leading to seal degradation or binding. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry, including castor, camber, and toe settings, given the repeated inner-edge tyre wear. The front brake discs, while not deemed unsafe in the 2025 test, showed pitting and scoring, so caliper sliding mechanisms and pad movement should be verified to rule out binding. Coil springs, suspension bushes, and rear axle mounts should also be examined for deterioration, especially since low-mileage luxury vehicles can suffer from moisture buildup and corrosion in garaged environments. Finally, confirm full functionality of all lighting systems, particularly the position lamp switch and registration plate lamp, as these have previously failed inspection.
