2017 Maserati Levante D V6 Auto 3.0L Diesel · LK66 YJR

The Maserati Levante presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 13 December 2025 at 63,095 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant. It shows the vehicle left its most recent test with no active mechanical or structural faults, a marked contrast to the failures and advisories that characterised its earlier history. The trajectory from a failed test in August 2022 through to a fully clear pass four years later suggests the previous owner addressed the identified defects promptly and maintained the vehicle to a reasonable standard in the period since. The mileage pattern raises a notable point. Between the December 2024 test at 29,667 miles and the December 2025 test at 63,095 miles, the vehicle accumulated 33,428 miles in a single year. That is an extraordinary jump, far exceeding the roughly 7,000 miles per year average implied by the vehicle's age. Before December 2024, the annual mileage was considerably lower, rising from 19,951 miles in August 2022 to 29,667 miles by December 2024, a span of over two years. The sudden acceleration in use during 2025 means a buyer should pay close attention to high-mileage wear items that may have deteriorated rapidly in that period, particularly drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake assemblies subjected to sustained heavy use. The August 2022 failure at 19,949 miles flagged front brake pads wearing thin and both front brake discs worn, alongside a damaged nearside front tyre outer wall and an inoperative engine management lamp. All of these were rectified before the retest two days later, but the combination of worn brake components and a damaged tyre on a relatively low-mileage vehicle at that time suggests the car may have been driven hard or stored for extended periods with tyres under load. The child seat advisories in December 2024, preventing full inspection of both rear adult seatbelts, are a minor concern but worth verifying in person to confirm the belt mechanisms retract and lock correctly now that the seats have been removed. A prospective buyer should inspect the front brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, given the earlier wear advisory and the subsequent high-mileage use. The nearside front tyre sidewall damage flagged in 2022 warrants a close visual check of all four tyres for perishing, bulging, or sidewall deformation, particularly if the car has spent long periods stationary. Suspension bushes, track rod ends, and lower arm joints should be examined for play, as the sharp increase in annual mileage during 2025 would have accelerated wear on these components. The engine management lamp fault from 2022 was cleared, but a diagnostic scan for stored or pending fault codes would confirm the engine and emissions systems remain healthy. Structurally, the Levante's aluminium-intensive body and steel subframes should be checked for corrosion at mounting points and along the underside, particularly if the high 2025 mileage included winter road use.
