2018 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · LP18 BBZ

The overall roadworthiness is currently non-roadworthy, as the tester flagged binding rear brakes and a bulge in the front outer tyre. The most recent test on 2026-05-26 was passed, but the sequence of failures indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical integrity rather than a stable pattern of minor wear. The first failure occurred in 2024, shortly after the 2026 test, suggesting that the vehicle has not yet been adequately maintained since the earlier 2023 inspection. The mechanical condition is deteriorating, with the binding brakes likely requiring immediate professional adjustment to prevent further damage to the suspension or chassis. The mileage pattern shows a clear gap between the 2026 and 2024 tests, with the 2024 failure occurring just before the 2026 test. This rapid accumulation of mileage between two years apart suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced at a standard interval since the 2023 inspection. While the 2026 test at 40,304 miles was passed, the subsequent failures indicate that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained since the earlier 2023 inspection, highlighting a lack of proactive care for structural components. Given the recurring faults of binding brakes and a bulge in the front outer tyre, the buyer should inspect the rear suspension and chassis for structural integrity and check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding. The structural integrity of the front outer tyre is also critical, as the bulge indicates a separation or partial failure of the tyre structure. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear and inspect the binding calipers for binding condition. The buyer should also inspect the exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the rear wheel well for rust.
