2015 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · LM15 KXV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 July 2026, although this followed an immediate failure on the same date. The failure was classified as dangerous due to both rear tyres having tread depths below the legal limit of 1.6mm. While the MOT history from 2023 to 2025 was exemplary with no defects recorded, this recent failure indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. The overall trend suggests a vehicle that was previously well-kept but may have been neglected in the most recent operating cycle. With a recorded mileage of 104,762 miles over an eleven year period, the car has averaged approximately 9,524 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a luxury grand tourer of this vintage. At this mileage, the vehicle has moved beyond its initial wear-in period and is entering a phase where high-wear consumables and chassis components will require systematic replacement. Prospective buyers should expect typical wear on suspension bushings, brake discs, and drivetrain mounts consistent with a hundred thousand miles of road use. Given the recent dangerous failure for tyre tread, it is imperative to verify the quality and age of the replacement tyres fitted to rectify the failure. The remaining advisory regarding windscreen damage should be inspected to ensure the crack is not spreading, as this may necessitate a full replacement to maintain structural integrity and visibility. During a test drive, pay close attention to the suspension for any clunks or knocks, which would indicate perished rubber bushes or worn dampers, and feel for any brake shudder or uneven pedal pressure that could suggest warped discs or binding calipers. Beyond the MOT records, the age and mileage of this Maserati necessitate a rigorous check of the service history to ensure calendar-based fluid changes have been performed. Inspect the engine bay for signs of oil leaks or coolant degradation and check the 12V battery health, as these vehicles are sensitive to voltage drops. Examine the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking, and verify that the brake fluid has been flushed according to the manufacturer's schedule to prevent internal corrosion of the braking system. A thorough review of the service book stamps is essential to confirm that the high-performance drivetrain has been maintained to the required standard.
