Our Verdict
This 2002 Maserati 2+2 (TCG411) is a low-mileage example with a largely clean recent MOT record, but buyers should budget for specialist maintenance and address minor advisories before purchase. Caution is warranted given the 2022 MOT failure and the lack of aggregate model reliability data.
Before buying, obtain the full service history and confirm the low mileage is genuine via stamped books and previous MOT certificates; a 2002 Maserati with under 27,000 miles should have documented annual maintenance. Use the 2022 failure (headlamp aim, insufficient washer fluid, steering rack gaiter) as a negotiation point and ensure these were properly rectified, though the subsequent passes suggest they were. Given no model aggregate data is available, commission an independent specialist inspection focusing on the Cambiocorsa or manual transmission, suspension bushings, and the 4244cc V8's timing system.
As a 4244cc petrol V8, this Maserati will be expensive to run: insurance will sit in a high group, road tax is based on the older pre-2006 CO2 bands but remains significant for a large engine. Fuel economy will be poor, likely under 20 mpg in mixed use, and specialist servicing at a Maserati or Italian car garage will cost far more than mainstream brands. Estimated annual running cost is £3,500-£5,000 including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
The 2022 MOT failure listed Nearside and Offside headlamp aim too far right, insufficient washer liquid, and a deteriorated steering rack gaiter; confirm the gaiter was replaced and the rack is free of dirt ingress, as corrosion here can be costly. The 2024 pass noted both front coil springs corroded and the 2025 test flagged an obviously under-inflated offside rear tyre and screen damage not affecting view — check tyre condition, inflation, and whether the windscreen chip has spread. With only 26,974 miles, inspect for age-related rubber perishing, brake fluid condition, and evidence the car has been stored properly rather than used regularly.
The vehicle shows just 26,974 miles on its 2025 MOT, remarkably low for a 23-year-old car, with only one failure in the recorded history (July 2022 for headlamp aim, washers, and steering gaiter). Recent tests note minor issues including corroded front coil springs (2024) and an under-inflated rear tyre plus screen damage (2025). No aggregate reliability stats exist for this model, so condition must be judged on the individual history provided.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Maserati 2+2, so buyers cannot benchmark this example against fleet trends and must rely on the individual history.
