Car statistics
How many Maserati Ghiblis are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records and 3,523 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 3,161 Maserati Ghiblis licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 393 declared off the road (SORN). That is 8.6% fewer than the peak of 3,457 in 2022.
Numbers peaked in 2022 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.

In 2025, 81.8% of Maserati Ghibli MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Maserati Ghiblis tested pass 76.3% of the time, so the Maserati Ghibli does better than average for its age, by 5.5 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 82.6%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

DVSA lists 13 safety recalls for the Maserati Ghibli since 1992, the first in 2016. The most recent was launched on 3 June 2024.
All 13 Maserati Ghibli recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Maserati Ghibli. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer.
