How reliable is the Maserati Granturismo compared with other cars?

We do not publish a comparison for the Maserati Granturismo, because the cars of this model that have been tested do not cover a wide enough range of ages and mileages. Its raw pass rate is 82.3% across 1,815 tests, but comparing a raw rate between models mostly ranks them by how new they are rather than how good they are. The failure and advisory patterns further down the page are still drawn from real tests and are worth reading.

What is the most common MOT failure on a Maserati Granturismo?

The item recorded most often is "A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened", which appears in 18.6% of failed Maserati Granturismo tests. Because one failed test can list several items, these shares do not add up to 100%.

What do testers most often warn about on a Maserati Granturismo?

The most common advisory is "Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements", noted on 20.4% of all Maserati Granturismo tests. An advisory is not a failure: it flags something that will likely need attention before the next test.

What mileage does a Maserati Granturismo usually have at its MOT?

The average odometer reading recorded at test is 45,141 miles. This is the mileage across all tested examples of every age, not an annual figure, so treat it as a description of the fleet rather than a target for one car.

Which Maserati Granturismo years are the most reliable?

Going by MOT pass rate, Maserati Granturismo cars first registered 2017–2019 do best at 86.1%, and those registered 2010 and earlier do worst at 80.4%. But that ordering is mostly age, not build year: almost every model passes less often as it wears, so the newest cars top this list whatever they are. A specific year looking strong here means little on its own; the failure items above, and the individual car's own MOT history, tell you far more.

Does a Maserati Granturismo get harder to pass as it ages?

Yes. At 6 to 8 years old, 86.1% of Maserati Granturismo tests pass. By fifteen years or more, that falls to 80.4%. Nearly every model follows this pattern, which is why comparing raw pass rates between models is misleading unless age is accounted for.

Model reliability file

Maserati Granturismo MOT pass rate & common failures

From 1,815 recorded MOT tests of the Maserati Granturismo, published by DVSA.

Data updated 29 July 2026

Quick answer

Across 1,815 MOT tests, 82.3% of Maserati Granturismo tests ended in a pass. This figure is not adjusted for age or mileage, so it is not a reliability ranking: the Maserati Granturismo fleet does not yet cover a wide enough spread of ages and distances to compare it fairly against other models. Its most commonly recorded failure is spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened, which appears in 18.6% of failed tests. Cars of this model average 45,141 miles on the odometer when tested.

82.3%unadjusted, not comparable1,815 tests

We are not publishing a ranking for the Granturismo. The examples tested do not cover a wide enough spread of ages and mileages to compare it fairly, and an unadjusted pass rate mostly sorts models by how recently they were bought rather than how well they were built. The failure and advisory patterns below come from the same 1,815 tests and are worth reading on their own terms.

How wear changes the picture

Granturismo pass rate by age and registration year

How often the Maserati Granturismo passes at each age, with the years those cars were first registered. Tests are from 2025, so a car aged 6 to 8 was first used in 2017–2019.

6–8 yrsreg. 2017–201986%

9–11 yrsreg. 2014–201685%

12–14 yrsreg. 2011–201382%

15+ yrsreg. 2010 and earlier80%

Read this as an age curve rather than a verdict on particular model years. Nearly every car passes less often as it gets older, so a newer Granturismo outscoring an older one says more about wear than about how that year’s cars were built. Bands holding too few tests to be meaningful are omitted rather than shown as a rate.

How this was worked out

Method and limits

Figures come from the DVSA anonymised MOT testing dataset, published under the Open Government Licence. Only class 4 initial tests are counted: retests are excluded so a car appears once, and abandoned tests are excluded entirely. No adjusted rate is shown because this model's tested examples do not cover enough of the national age and mileage range for standardisation to mean anything.

An MOT measures whether a car met a legal standard on the day. It is not a breakdown record, a service history or a running-cost estimate, and a pass rate is a property of a fleet rather than a prediction about one car.
