The 2007 Maserati GranSport passes its MOT first time at 85.8%, which is a solid 5.8 percentage points above the UK average—but the catch is that 22.7% of these cars have had a dangerous defect flagged at some point, which is notably high and worth investigating on any example you're considering. This is a car that demands attention.
