2020 Maserati Quattroporte 3.0L Petrol · LT70 AVL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-06 at 76,125 miles resulted in a pass, but a prior test on 2026-03-05 at the same mileage recorded failures, including rear tyre tread below 1.6mm and a faulty front wiper. This inconsistency suggests maintenance may not have been prioritized between tests. Earlier records show recurring brake pad wear, with both rear pads reaching the wear indicator in 2023 and 2025, alongside tyre tread issues. While the latest test passed, the pattern of minor defects indicates a maintenance trend that remains unstable, with no clear resolution of recurring issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 76,125 miles over six years equates to approximately 12,688 miles annually, which is high for its age. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. Notably, the gap between the 2025-04-02 test (64,501 miles) and the 2026-03-06 test (76,125 miles) spans 11 months, during which the mileage increased by 11,624 miles. This suggests either frequent use or potential lapses in regular servicing. The absence of major structural or suspension defects in earlier tests does not mitigate the need for closer scrutiny of high-mileage components like brakes, tyres, and exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear brake pads, which have repeatedly reached the wear indicator, and verify the condition of brake discs for warping or excessive wear. Tyre tread depth must be measured precisely, as failures in 2023 and 2026 indicate neglect in maintaining legal limits. The windscreen wipers, which failed in multiple tests, should be replaced to ensure visibility. Additionally, the suspension bushes and coil springs, which are susceptible to wear under high mileage, warrant examination for play or damage. The vehicle’s history does not flag structural corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, but these should still be verified during a physical inspection.
