Is Maserati reliable?
Across rated models, Maserati averages a 4.3/5 ForCar Reliability Score, with 12 models rated 4★ or higher. Each model is scored from NHTSA crash-test safety, recall frequency and the share of owner complaints involving a crash, fire or injury — not user reviews.
Maserati positions between luxury sedans (BMW M, Mercedes-AMG) and supercars (Ferrari, Lamborghini), with prices and performance overlapping both segments. Within Stellantis, Maserati serves as the premium Italian counterpart to American Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram brands and the everyday-luxury Alfa Romeo. Maserati's 2025-2030 plan is to electrify the entire lineup with Folgore (lightning) variants of every model.

Every Maserati built since 1981 carries a unique 17-character VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). It encodes where and when the vehicle was made, its engine and body — here's what each part means:
- WMI (1–3) — country & manufacturer. Tells you it's a Maserati and the country it was built in.
- VDS (4–8) — model, body style, engine, trim & restraints. The 8th digit is the engine code.
- Check digit (9) — a math check that proves the VIN is genuine.
- Model year (10) — the year it was built (e.g. R = 2024, S = 2025).
- Plant (11) — which factory assembled it.
- Serial (12–17) — the unique sequential production number.
Where to find your Maserati VIN: the lower-left corner of the windshield, the driver's door jamb sticker, or your registration and insurance documents. Paste it into the decoder above to read it instantly.
About Maserati
Officine Alfieri Maserati was founded by five Maserati brothers in Bologna on December 1, 1914. The Tipo 26, the first car bearing the Maserati name, was built in 1926 and won the Targa Florio's 1.5-liter class on its debut. Adolfo Orsi acquired the company from the brothers in 1937 and moved it from Bologna to Modena in 1940. Maserati passed through Citroën (1968-1975), De Tomaso (1975-1993), Fiat (1993-2007) and Fiat-Chrysler (2007-2021) before joining Stellantis.
