2013 Maserati Granturismo — MOT failures & pass rate
839 MOT tests on the 2013 Maserati Granturismo are in this dataset, and 88.3% of them passed. Coupes & convertibles of a similar age fail 14.7% of the time, so this is 3.1pp better than the group it competes with. Failures cluster in tyres, suspension and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (5.4%) and suspension (3.9%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are coil spring, wipers and tread depth — coil spring alone was recorded 22 times.
A 60-90k example is materially riskier than a 0-30k one: 10.3% versus 6.0%.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 18.4% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 8.7% of tests failed in 2021 against 15.3% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyres | 18.4% | 154 |
| 2 | Brakes | 10.1% | 85 |
| 3 | Suspension | 7.6% | 64 |

| 5 | Visibility | 1.9% | 16 |
| 6 | Emissions & environmental | 0.9% | 8 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 283 | 6.0% |
| 30-60k | 492 | 15.0% |
| 60-90k | 58 | 10.3% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time
| Dataset year | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 173 | 8.7% |
| 2022 | 153 | 10.5% |
| 2023 | 166 | 11.5% |

What to check before buying a 2013 Granturismo
On a 2013 Granturismo, tyres is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 5.4% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Tyres (5.4% 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.
- Suspension (3.9% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
- Brakes (2.7% 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.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
