2014 Maserati Granturismo — MOT failures & pass rate
653 MOT tests on the 2014 Maserati Granturismo are in this dataset, and 86.7% of them passed. That is effectively the same as coupes & convertibles of a similar age (13.2% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in tyres, brakes and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
One area stands out: tyres, recorded in 6.6% of tests against 3.1% for the next-worst category.
At component level the recurring items are registration plates, coil spring and headlamp aim — registration plates alone was recorded 18 times.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 17.0% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 293 | 13.0% |
| 30-60k | 338 | 13.6% |

What to check before buying a 2014 Granturismo
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 6.6% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (6.6% 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 (3.1% 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 (2.9% 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.
