2018 Maserati Levante S Auto 3.0L Petrol · G2 FJR

The 2018 Maserati Levante S currently holds a valid MOT certificate following its most recent pass on 18 March 2026 at 48,289 miles, confirming baseline roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows a cyclical pattern of deferred upkeep followed by reactive repairs. The tester flagged thinning front and rear brake pads alongside pitted and scored rear inner brake discs during this latest inspection. These advisories indicate the braking system requires imminent attention, continuing a pattern where wear items are run down to the point of failure before replacement. Covering 48,289 miles over eight years equates to an annual average of roughly 6,000 miles, which is entirely typical for a high-performance luxury SUV of this calibre. The mileage accumulation remains steady and consistent across the recorded history, increasing by approximately 5,500 miles between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another 5,450 miles leading up to the March 2026 assessment. This regular, moderate usage suggests the vehicle sees consistent driving rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally benefits the mechanical longevity of the drivetrain and suspension components. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking system and wheel alignment. The MOT history reveals a persistent issue with tyre degradation, evidenced by the March 2024 failure for edge wear and cuts reaching the cords, followed by an identical failure in March 2025 for severe cuts and edge wear across multiple wheels. Running tyres down to the structural cords and replacing them only after an MOT failure demonstrates a reactive approach to basic consumable maintenance. The recurring edge wear strongly suggests underlying suspension geometry or tracking misalignment. A buyer should verify the current condition of all four tyres and check the suspension bushes and steering components for wear, as the heavy weight and performance characteristics of this vehicle will rapidly destroy incorrectly aligned rubber. The braking components also warrant close scrutiny to assess the exact remaining material on the flagged pads and the depth of the scoring on the rear discs.
