2016 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · TP08 DEN

A consistent record of roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 17 September 2025 resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. While the overall trend is stable, the history reveals a specific vulnerability to tyre degradation, including a failure in September 2022 due to major cuts in both front tyres and a subsequent advisory in 2023 regarding a perishing nearside rear tyre. The recorded mileage of 22,947 miles is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,295 miles per year. This pattern of light usage often implies extended periods of inactivity, which aligns with the DVSA records showing tyre perishing and cracking. Such a usage profile shifts the mechanical focus from drivetrain wear to the degradation of rubber components and seals that deteriorate over time regardless of distance traveled. Inspection should prioritize the current state of the tyres to confirm that the components flagged in 2022 and 2023 have been replaced. Examine the sidewalls for any signs of weather-checking or cracking, particularly on the nearside rear. Additionally, the windscreen should be checked for the stone chips noted in September 2023 to ensure they remain minor and have not propagated into larger fractures. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering and suspension for any irregularities that may arise from long-term standing. While no suspension or braking defects were recorded in the MOT history, the low mileage suggests a need to verify that brake calipers are not binding and that the vehicle tracks straight under braking, ensuring that the lack of use has not led to seized components.
