2016 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · LT16 RCV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but the test results highlight a clear pattern of accumulating wear on consumable items. The rear brake discs have progressed from being noted as worn but not excessive in 2025 to being pitted or scored with thin pads in 2026. This indicates the braking system requires immediate attention rather than further monitoring. Tyre wear is a recurring theme. While the car was clean in 2023, it returned to having tyre advisories in 2026, with both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the outer edges. This contrasts with the inner edge wear seen in 2022, suggesting potential alignment or usage changes over time. The mechanical history shows signs of aging beyond standard service items. In 2024, play was detected in the steering rack inner joint, and in 2025, a non-excessive oil leak was found on the nearside rear drive shaft seal. Although these were not failures, they are specific points of concern that may require repair soon. With roughly 69,441 miles recorded over ten years, the car averages about 6,944 miles per year.
