2017 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Petrol · LT17 KPE

The Maserati Ghibli presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 April 2026 at 38,375 miles with zero defects recorded. That result follows a similarly clean pass on 9 April 2025 at 32,759 miles. The only blemish in the recent five-year record is a single failure on 5 April 2024 at 28,655 miles, where both rear tyres were below the 1.6mm legal minimum. The subsequent retest on 10 April 2024 passed with no issues, indicating the defect was promptly corrected rather than neglected. The vehicle has covered just 38,375 miles over approximately nine years, averaging roughly 4,264 miles per year. That is notably low for a car of this age and type. The mileage progression is consistent and gradual: 24,316 miles in March 2023, 28,655 miles in April 2024, 32,759 miles in April 2025, and 38,375 miles in April 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in accumulation, suggesting regular but light use rather than long periods of inactivity or recent high-mileage punishment. The record is clean and well-documented, with no advisory items appearing in any of the last four tests. Despite the spotless recent record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that low-mileage, older vehicles are prone to. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers can perish from age and standing rather than mileage, so check for cracking, perishing, or corrosion. Inspect the underside for structural rust, particularly on subframes, sills, and around mounting points, as a car sitting for extended periods can develop surface corrosion that compromises long-term structural integrity. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, which can develop even on low-mileage vehicles that are driven infrequently. The 2024 tyre failure confirms the car does experience consumable wear, so verify current tyre condition, age codes, and sidewall condition, as rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth. Given the Ghibli's performance specification, a test drive should assess gearbox smoothness, clutch engagement, and exhaust emissions behaviour under load to confirm the drivetrain remains in good order.
