2014 Maserati Ghibli 3.0L Diesel · YJ64 AEZ

The Maserati Ghibli’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-25 at 82,535 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded across the last three consecutive tests. This consistency suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and maintenance, as evidenced by the absence of advisories or recurring failures in the past year. The latest test’s clean pass aligns with the previous two, indicating no deterioration in critical systems—brakes, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity—over the past 5,000 miles. However, the single failure in November 2023 at 71,096 miles, just two days before a passing test at 71,100 miles, warrants scrutiny of whether this was a temporary oversight or a genuine mechanical issue that resolved itself. The mileage progression of roughly 6,878 miles annually over the past two years reflects typical usage for a vehicle of this age, without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The gap between the 2023 failure and the subsequent passing test—just 14 miles apart—suggests either a minor, easily corrected issue or a test centre error. No significant mileage gaps exist between tests, which implies the vehicle was either driven regularly or maintained in a storage environment with periodic checks. The lack of advisories in any test further supports that major components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers have not been overlooked. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not always captured in a standard MOT, such as the condition of the rear brake calipers and discs—often a common failure point in luxury sports cars—and the integrity of the suspension mounts, particularly if the vehicle has experienced uneven loading or aggressive driving. The absence of corrosion advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but a thorough check of wheel arches, subframe, and sills for hidden rust is advisable, especially given the car’s age. Additionally, verify the service history for timing belt replacements (if applicable), as this critical component is not MOT-tested and can fail catastrophically if neglected. The engine bay should be inspected for oil leaks or degraded hoses, while the exhaust system’s mounting points should be examined for loose or cracked brackets, which could lead to rattles or emissions failures.
