2021 Maserati Levante Modena S Auto 3.0L Petrol · JIW 748

The most recent MOT test conducted on 29 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking at the consecutive passes in 2024 and 2025, the maintenance trend appears stable and consistent. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets all essential safety and environmental requirements, showing no immediate signs of mechanical decline or structural deterioration in the official records. The vehicle has covered 18,796 miles over approximately five years, which equates to an average of roughly 3,759 miles per year. This is considered very low mileage for a vehicle of this age and class. While this low usage typically means less mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, it also indicates a pattern of infrequent use. For a high-performance vehicle, long periods of inactivity can lead to specific issues that are not captured by mileage alone, such as the degradation of rubber components and the settling of fluids. Given the clean MOT history and low mileage, your physical inspection should prioritise age-related degradation over wear-based components. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or uneven tread wear caused by flat spotting from extended periods of standing. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting and check that the calipers are not binding, which can happen when brakes are not regularly exercised. It is also vital to check the health of the 12V battery, as low-usage vehicles are highly susceptible to battery discharge and loss of charge retention. Beyond the physical components, you must verify that the service history follows a time-based schedule rather than strictly a mileage-based one. Essential fluids, including engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant, can undergo chemical degradation over time regardless of how few miles the car has travelled. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension for any clunks or knocks that might indicate stiffened bushes or seized components, and monitor the engine for any signs of fluid leaks from seals that may have dried out due to inactivity. Ensure the service book contains stamps that align with the manufacturer's recommended annual intervals to confirm thorough upkeep.
