What should you check when buying a used Granturismo?

The areas above, most common first, and what an MOT tester looks at in each.

1

Tyres

Check tread depth across the full width of every tyre (the legal minimum is 1.6mm), and look for cuts, bulges and uneven wear. 24.8% of Granturismo failure items.

2

Brakes

Make sure the pedal feels firm, the car stops in a straight line, the handbrake holds on a slope and no brake warning light is showing. 23.9% of Granturismo failure items.

3

Suspension

Listen for knocks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for leaking shock absorbers and split rubber gaiters. 14.9% of Granturismo failure items.

4

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment

Walk round with every light on: headlights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights and the number plate lamp. Check no warning lights stay on after starting. 12.9% of Granturismo failure items.

5

Visibility

Check the windscreen for chips or cracks in the driver's view, and that the wipers and washers clear it properly. 10.6% of Granturismo failure items.

None of this replaces the car's own record. Run a free MOT history check on the registration to see every test, advisory and recorded mileage for that car.

What the MOT record doesn't tell you

Knowing Maserati Granturismo failures cluster around tyres and brakes tells you what to inspect. It tells you nothing about whether the car is safe to buy. An MOT does not show money still owed on the car, a write-off, a theft record or a clocked odometer.

Used Maserati Granturismo FAQs

Is the Maserati Granturismo reliable?

MOT data does not measure reliability. It records whether a car met the roadworthiness standard on the day of its test. What it does show is an 82.4% first-time pass rate for the Maserati Granturismo across 1,831 tests in 2025, above the 72.3% average for all cars.

Do older Maserati Granturismo cars fail their MOT more often?

Maserati Granturismo cars aged 6 to 10 years passed 84.5% of MOT tests in 2025; for examples aged 11 years and over that fell to 81.5%. On an older example, the car's own MOT history tells you more than the model average.

What should I check before buying a used Maserati Granturismo?

On the car itself, start with the areas it most often fails on: tyres, brakes and suspension. Then check the individual car's history: outstanding finance, insurance write-off records, stolen markers, mileage and previous keepers. None of these appear in the MOT record or on the V5C.

How do I check a Maserati Granturismo's history?

Enter the registration of the specific car. A Carpeep car history check reports outstanding finance, write-off category, stolen markers, mileage history, previous keepers, MOT and tax status, import and export markers and scrapped status in one £15 report.

MOT figures are aggregated from the DVSA MOT Anonymised data set for 2025 (class 4 initial tests, retests excluded), licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT results describe roadworthiness at test, not mechanical reliability.
