Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2015 Maserati Quattroporte?

The 2015 Quattroporte passes its MOT at 85.2%, which is above the UK average of 80%, but that headline masks a serious concern: nearly half of these cars (47.5%) have shown up with dangerous defects during their MOT history, well above the typical threshold of buyer confidence. This is a luxury sports saloon with real mechanical complexity, and the numbers suggest ownership comes with genuine reliability risk.

At 47,700 miles median for a nine-year-old car, these examples are lightly used, yet they still rack up 1.35 failures and 7.7 advisories on average—indicating that age and Italian engineering sophistication matter more than mileage here. Before buying, insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a Maserati specialist and budget for the advisories; this is not a car to gamble on without detailed history.

We have limited data for the 2015 Maserati Quattroporte — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.
