Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Maserati Gran Turismo V8 Owners

These checks follow this Maserati Gran Turismo V8's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Maserati Gran Turismo V8.

• the lights — “anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

• the coil springs — “coil spring fractured or broken”

  Look up inside each wheel arch with a torch, all the way round the spring. A snapped spring usually breaks at the very bottom coil, where a quick glance will not reach.

• the wipers and washers — “wipers blade defective”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.
