2017 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Petrol · LT17 KKW

The 2017 Maserati Ghibli presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 13 March 2026 at 97,695 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 28 February 2025 at 87,503 miles was also entirely defect-free, indicating that any minor issues flagged in earlier years have been properly addressed. The vehicle has moved from advisories in 2024 to consecutive clean passes, which suggests attentive ownership and a resolving rather than worsening condition. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,855 miles per year. The annual increments between tests show a steady pattern: roughly 9,184 miles between February 2022 and February 2023, 18,932 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, 9,184 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and 10,192 miles between February 2025 and March 2026. The slightly higher accumulation between 2023 and 2024 may reflect a period of heavier use, but the return to a more moderate annual rate thereafter suggests no sustained increase in wear intensity. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is approximately thirteen months rather than twelve, which is not unusual and does not indicate the vehicle was standing idle for extended periods. The only notable advisories in the record appeared in the 27 February 2024 test at 78,319 miles, where the tester noted a damaged central front upper windscreen and slight outer sidewall damage on the nearside front tyre. Both items were advisory only and did not constitute failures, and the subsequent two clean passes confirm they were rectified. No recurring mechanical, suspension, braking, or structural defects appear anywhere in the five-test history. A prospective buyer should still inspect the windscreen for any fresh stone chips or cracks, verify the condition of all four tyre sidewalls for perishing or bulging given the vehicle's performance specification, and check the underside for corrosion or exhaust deterioration consistent with a car of this age and mileage. The brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components warrant close inspection given the Ghibli's weight and power, even though no MOT defects have flagged these areas. The clean record is encouraging but does not substitute for a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Maserati systems.
