Our Verdict
Avoid this vehicle unless you are a specialist or have a significant budget for structural repairs. The most recent MOT failure reveals serious structural corrosion that could be prohibitively expensive to rectify.
Exercise extreme caution with this purchase. The most critical issue is the 'seriously weakened' corrosion on both the nearside and offside front sub-frames; this is a structural failure that may require a full sub-frame replacement rather than a simple weld. You should demand a detailed quote from a Maserati specialist to determine if the car is economically viable to repair.
Beyond the structural issues, check the service history for evidence of timing chain maintenance and oil leaks, which are common for this engine size. Given the current MOT status, you have significant leverage to negotiate the price down, but the cost of repairs may exceed the current market value of the vehicle.
Owning a 4.2L Maserati is a high-cost endeavour. Fuel economy will be low, particularly in urban environments, and the large engine puts it in a high CO2 tax bracket. Insurance for a luxury performance saloon of this age is typically expensive due to the high cost of replacement parts.
Maintenance costs are likely to be substantial, especially following the recent MOT failures. Between the required sub-frame work, coil spring replacement, and parking brake overhaul, the immediate maintenance bill will be high, followed by expensive annual servicing requirements.
The primary focus must be the front sub-frame. The MOT history explicitly states that both the nearside and offside front sub-frames are corroded and seriously weakened; this needs a professional structural inspection. Additionally, the nearside front coil spring is fractured and the parking brake efficiency has dropped below 50%, both of which require immediate replacement.
Inspect the braking system carefully. While it passed in 2023, there were notes regarding pitted and scored brake discs on all four corners. Check for current disc condition and ensure the parking brake mechanism is fully functional after the reported failure.
This 2007 Blue Maserati Quattroporte features a large 4.2L petrol engine and relatively low mileage of 63,513 miles. While it has a history of passing MOTs with minimal issues, the June 2026 inspection has uncovered critical failures. The vehicle is currently unroadworthy due to significant sub-frame corrosion and suspension failure.
Aggregate data for this model is unavailable, but the current vehicle's history suggests a vulnerability to structural corrosion in the sub-frame over time.
