2018 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · SA10 LES

The vehicle maintains a generally stable roadworthiness status, though the most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 77,103 miles highlights the onset of suspension degradation. While the car passed its latest inspection, the recorded misting on the offside rear shock absorber suggests the initial stages of seal failure. This component requires monitoring, as hydraulic leaks on high-performance dampers often progress rapidly to total failure, which would necessitate a costly replacement to maintain handling integrity. The recorded mileage of 77,103 miles over eight years indicates a consistent usage pattern of approximately 9,600 miles annually. This frequency suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which is beneficial for the longevity of seals and electronic modules. The history shows no significant gaps in testing, confirming the car has remained compliant with annual inspections throughout its operational life. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension geometry. The 2023 test failure due to exposed tyre cords and pitted discs indicates a period where consumable maintenance was neglected. While these specific items were addressed to achieve a pass, the recurring nature of brake wear suggests the car is subjected to significant mechanical stress during operation. Verify the current condition of the discs and pads, and check for any uneven tyre wear patterns that might indicate misalignment or worn suspension bushes, as these are common points of failure for this model.
