2010 Maserati Granturismo — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 1,067 MOT tests, the 2010 Maserati Granturismo recorded an 85.6% pass rate. Against coupes & convertibles of a similar age (19.1% fail rate), the 2010 Granturismo comes out 4.7pp better. Failures cluster in tyres, brakes and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (6.2%) and brakes (4.5%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are registration plates, rbt (sp) and headlamp aim — registration plates alone was recorded 25 times.
A 60-90k example is materially riskier than a 0-30k one: 18.2% versus 10.2%.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 21.2% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

| 30-60k | 610 | 15.1% |
| 60-90k | 187 | 18.2% |

What to check before buying a 2010 Granturismo
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 6.2% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (6.2% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Brakes (4.5% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
- Lighting & signalling (3.6% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
