The 2014 Maserati Quattroporte passes its MOT first time in 86% of cases, which is a solid 6 percentage points above the UK average—but the headline concern is that 46.5% of these cars have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, a significantly higher rate than typical and a real red flag for structural, brake or suspension integrity. This suggests that while many examples are well-maintained, there's a material risk of serious issues lurking in the used market.

At a median mileage of just under 50,000 miles, these are fairly low-mileage cars for their age, which should work in their favour—yet they're still averaging 1.38 failures and 8.4 advisories per test, pointing to age-related wear and the costs that come with an ageing Italian luxury engine. Before committing to purchase, have a pre-buy inspection focus on the suspension, cooling system and brakes, and factor in the real possibility of expensive specialist work.

We have limited data for the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte — 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.
