2021 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · W700 ADB

The Maserati Ghibli has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with all tests passing without major defects. The most recent inspection on March 10, 2026, at 18,146 miles confirmed no issues, reinforcing the vehicle’s current compliance with UK safety and emissions standards. While no advisories or serious failures have been recorded, the 2024 test did identify minor but notable tyre conditions—cracking on the nearside and offside front tyres, alongside rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. These were addressed before the test, suggesting the previous owner took corrective action, though the pattern indicates a need for vigilant tyre maintenance. The recorded mileage of 18,146 miles over five years—approximately 3,629 miles annually—sits at the lower end of typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests (around 12,000 miles per cycle) aligns with standard MOT intervals, but the slow accumulation implies either light daily use or extended periods of storage. The most significant mileage jump occurred between March 2024 (9,137 miles) and March 2025 (13,294 miles), a 4,157-mile increase, which may reflect a period of more frequent driving. However, the absence of related faults in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle was well-maintained during this phase. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the tyres, particularly the front outer walls, to confirm there is no residual cracking or perishing that could compromise structural integrity. The rear tyres, while legally compliant at the time of the last test, should be checked for uneven wear or edge damage, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. The absence of brake-related advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but the rear brakes were flagged in the 2024 report for binding—this should be verified as resolved, as persistent binding can cause excessive heat and premature wear. Finally, the suspension bushes and coil springs, along with the subframe and sills, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or fatigue, especially given the vehicle’s age and the potential for prolonged storage.
