2020 Maserati Levante Gransport V6 Auto 3.0L Petrol · AM54 ADE

The most recent DVSA examination on 27 February 2026 returned a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded, continuing a positive post-2023 trend in which the vehicle has secured three consecutive passes at its annual tests. The earlier 2023 entry did flag an under-tray advisory, and the closely adjacent failed test from that same period recorded dangerous and major tyre defects on both front wheels, specifically cuts and exposed ply or cords on the nearside and offside front tyres. Since that episode, however, the record shows no further tyre advisories, suggesting the issue was addressed promptly with replacement items rather than indicating any systemic wheel or suspension geometry concern. The maintenance trajectory is therefore best described as stable and currently healthy, with no recurring mechanical, braking, or lighting advisories that would suggest underlying deterioration in any particular subsystem. With a recorded odometer reading of 43,113 miles against a 2020 registration, the Levante is averaging roughly 7,186 miles annually. This is broadly typical for a high-end SUV of its age and is neither so low as to suggest prolonged standing periods nor so high as to imply heavy commercial or motorway use that would accelerate wear on major drivetrain components. The annual MOT cadence shows consistent annual mileage accumulation without large gaps, which is a positive indicator for the health of timing chains, turbochargers, dual-clutch or torque converter automatics, and suspension components that can suffer when a vehicle is left unused for extended periods. Given the moderate usage, the major mechanical assemblies should not yet be heavily fatigued, though consumables and age-sensitive items will still require attention. For a vehicle of this age and specification, physical inspection should focus on items that deteriorate with time rather than mileage alone. The tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking from UV exposure, as premium tyres fitted to low-mileage vehicles often harden before they wear; check the production date code on the sidewall and confirm even tread wear across both axles, which would indicate healthy suspension geometry. The brake discs and calipers should be inspected for surface corrosion, particularly given the wet UK climate, and the calipers should be checked for binding or seized pistons that can cause uneven pad wear or pulling under braking. The 12V battery, which on many modern Maseratis is located in the boot or underbody rather than the bonnet, should be load-tested, as battery failure is a common cause of electronic gremlins and module communication faults on this marque. All fluid services, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission fluid, should be verified as recently changed according to calendar intervals rather than purely mileage, as brake fluid is hygroscopic and degrades regardless of use. On a test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocking over rough surfaces, which could indicate worn anti-roll bar bushes, top mounts, or coil springs, and pay particular attention to any droning or vibration at speed that might suggest tyre deformation or wheel imbalance. The twin-turbo V6 should pull smoothly through the rev range without hesitation, hesitation under boost, or excessive smoke from the exhaust on startup. Confirm that all dashboard warning lamps extinguish after the bulb check, and that the infotainment, climate control, and air suspension (if equipped) operate without fault codes. Finally, ensure that the vehicle has a complete service book history with Maserati or a recognised specialist, as this powertrain is sensitive to extended oil change intervals, and a missing service stamp record is likely to be used as a negotiating point or may foreshadow expensive rectification work in the near future.
