Maserati Quattroporte (2007)
2007 Maserati Quattroporte
CarHunch analysed 258 real MOT records for the 2007 Maserati Quattroporte. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Quattroporte's 78.8% first-time pass rate is slightly below the UK average of 80%, but the real concern is that 44.6% of these cars have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—nearly one in two vehicles. This is well above typical patterns and suggests serious mechanical issues are fairly common on the used market.
At an average mileage of 51,241 miles for a 17-year-old car, these Quattraportes have been driven gently, yet they're still averaging 3.58 failures and 15.4 advisories per test, pointing to complexity and maintenance demands that go beyond normal wear. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection by a Maserati specialist focus on the suspension, transmission, and fuel system—not just a routine MOT check.
What to check before buying a 2007 Maserati Quattroporte
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 44.6% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
