2022 Maserati Levante Modena Auto 3.0L Petrol · BV72 KRG

The most recent DVSA MOT, conducted on 29 August 2025, resulted in a full pass but issued two advisories concerning tyre tread depth – the front tyres were measured at 2.4 mm on the edges and the rear tyres at 1.6 mm, both approaching the legal minimum. No failures were recorded, indicating that the vehicle has so far met the statutory safety and emissions requirements, and the absence of recurring defects suggests a generally stable maintenance pattern up to the last test. With a recorded mileage of 24,049 mi for a 2022 model, the car averages roughly 6,000 mi per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the typical UK usage range for a four‑year‑old executive SUV and does not point to any periods of excessive short‑trip abuse or prolonged storage that might accelerate wear on the drivetrain or cooling system. The modest annual distance also means that consumables such as brake pads, suspension bushes and engine oil are likely to be within their expected service intervals, provided the owner has adhered to the manufacturer’s calendar‑based maintenance schedule. The tyre advisories merit immediate attention. Tyres at 2.4 mm on the front and 1.6 mm on the rear are within the legal limit but offer little safety margin, especially on a high‑performance vehicle like the Levante where grip and handling are critical. Prospective buyers should inspect the tread pattern for uneven wear, sidewall cracking or bulging, and verify that the tyre age (DOT code) does not exceed six years, as rubber degradation can occur even with low mileage. A test drive should be used to listen for any thumping or vibration that could indicate a developing separation of the tyre carcass or a mis‑alignment issue, and the brakes should be checked for shudder or reduced pedal feel which can arise when tyre contact patches change abruptly as tread depth diminishes. Beyond the tyres, the vehicle’s age calls for a thorough calendar‑based check. Examine the 12 V battery terminals for corrosion and confirm that the battery holds charge, as four‑year‑old batteries often lose capacity even with moderate use. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust or glazing, particularly if the car has spent extended periods idle, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding. Verify that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission oil – have been topped up and replaced according to the service schedule, as fluids can deteriorate over time regardless of mileage. Finally, assess the suspension components for any signs of cracked or deteriorating rubber bushings, and look for corrosion on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, which can affect structural integrity on a vehicle that may have been stored for intervals between journeys.
