What Maserati Quattroporte failures look like

13,486 Maserati Quattroporte tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 5,275 tests (39.1%), with brakes on 2,844 tests (21.1%) and with visibility on 797 tests (5.9%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 3,373 of the 13,486 tests: 859 failures and 2,514 advisories or minors.

  • Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.14, in brakes

    Recorded on 1,318 of the 13,486 tests: 50 failures and 1,268 advisories or minors.

  • Brake pad(s) wearing thin

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.13, in brakes

    Recorded on 852 of the 13,486 tests: 84 failures and 768 advisories or minors.

Where there is enough data to compare: Maserati Ghibli (29,734 tests), Maserati Granturismo (17,351 tests), Maserati Levante D V6 Auto (9,133 tests), Maserati Coupe (5,367 tests), every Maserati model (99,220 tests).

Clauses are read from the manual reference at the end of every defect on the cached test records, and a defect shown here has to appear on at least two of them before it is named. The site-wide breakdown explains how that works and compares every make.
