Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2011 Maserati Granturismo?

This Granturismo passes its MOT at 86.2%, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, but there's a serious catch: 35.1% of these cars have recorded dangerous defects at some point, which is well above acceptable and a genuine buyer concern. That high rate of dangerous faults suggests structural or safety-critical wear that potential buyers need to investigate thoroughly before purchase.

At just over 31,500 miles on average for a 2011, these cars are running light mileage, yet they're still racking up 1.85 failures and 8.4 advisories per test, pointing to age-related deterioration rather than hard use. Before committing to one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus specifically on suspension, braking, and electrical systems—the areas that typically trigger those dangerous defect flags on high-performance Italian cars.

We have limited data for the 2011 Maserati Granturismo — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
