2014 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · LT63 USZ

This 2014 Maserati Ghibli presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 February 2023 at 63,327 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant. The vehicle had accumulated advisories in earlier years, but the most recent test shows those issues were addressed, suggesting attentive ownership in the period leading up to 2023. No new faults have been flagged since, and the record shows no failures at any point in the documented history. The mileage pattern raises a notable concern. Between 2022 and 2023, the car jumped from 35,983 to 63,327 miles in just over twelve months, an increase of roughly 27,344 miles. That is an extraordinary spike for a vehicle that had covered only 35,983 miles in its first eight years of life. Prior to that, annual mileage averaged around 5,000 miles per year, consistent with light use. The sudden accumulation suggests either a change in ownership or usage pattern, and buyers should verify the circumstances behind that jump. Service records and a thorough mechanical inspection are essential to confirm whether the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems have been maintained to match that increased workload. The advisory history points to recurring attention on tyres and brakes. In January 2021, the tester flagged inner edge wear on both front tyres and cracking or perishing on the rears, along with thin rear brake pads. The following January, front brake pads were noted as wearing thin. These are consumable items, but the pattern of uneven tyre wear suggests possible alignment or suspension geometry issues that a buyer should have checked in person. Inspect the inner edges of all four tyres for feathering or scalloped wear, and have the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints examined for play. Uneven tyre wear on a rear-drive saloon of this type often traces back to worn rear subframe bushes or toe adjustment drift. The braking system has drawn repeated advisory attention across multiple years, so a close inspection of disc condition, caliper slide pins, and handbrake mechanisms is warranted. The 2019 advisory for a tyre pressure monitoring system fault also warrants verification that the system is fully operational and that no sensors have been neglected. Given the low-mileage years followed by a sharp increase in use, a comprehensive underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly on brake lines, subframes, and exhaust mounting points, would be prudent. The clean 2023 result is encouraging, but the gaps in the record and the mileage anomaly mean physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
