PF56 TCO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The most recent test on 12 June 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (1 issue), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Expert automotive synthesis from historical MOT defect records and market benchmarks.
Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle has a relatively consistent MOT record, the emergence of sub-frame corrosion and the high maintenance costs associated with a 4.2L Maserati engine make this a high-risk purchase.
Prioritize a full service history check. A 4.2L engine of this vintage requires meticulous maintenance; any gaps in the records should be viewed as a significant red flag. Given the luxury nature of the Quattroporte, ensure all electronic systems, particularly the infotainment and climate control, are fully operational.
Negotiate the price based on the recent MOT advisories regarding the sub-frames. While not currently failures, corrosion on a vehicle of this age can escalate quickly and is expensive to remediate. Request evidence of any recent underside cleaning or rust-proofing treatments.
Running costs for this vehicle will be substantial. The 4244cc petrol engine is thirsty, and combined with a high insurance group and premium road tax band, monthly outgoings will be significant.
Maintenance is the primary concern. Parts for Maserati are expensive and often require specialist technicians. Expect higher-than-average costs for routine consumables like tyres and brakes, as well as the potential for costly repairs to the complex electronic systems.
The most critical area for inspection is the chassis. The June 2026 MOT specifically noted corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames. A professional mechanic should assess the extent of this rust to ensure it hasn't progressed beyond the 'not seriously weakened' stage.
Additionally, check the SRS (airbag) system. The vehicle failed its July 2025 MOT due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp. While this was rectified for the pass, it is worth verifying that the fault was permanently fixed and not simply cleared via a diagnostic tool.
This 2006 grey Maserati Quattroporte has covered 102,468 miles over its 20-year lifespan. The MOT history is generally positive with several clean passes, though recent entries reveal emerging structural corrosion. It remains a striking example of Italian luxury, but the age and engine size necessitate a rigorous mechanical inspection.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but Maserati vehicles of this era are generally known for high maintenance requirements and electronic complexities.
