2020 Maserati Levante Gransport V6 Auto 3.0L Petrol · LL20 PPO

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this Maserati Levante GranSport was conducted on 1 August 2025 and resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that at the time of examination the vehicle met all statutory roadworthiness requirements. Reviewing the broader test history, the vehicle passed at its 2023 and 2024 anniversaries with no advisories, though a prior test on 22 July 2025 was recorded as a failure despite no defects being listed against it in the data provided; this most likely reflects an administrative refusal or a refusal at the initial presentation for reasons such as documentation, emissions readiness, or test station procedure rather than a mechanical defect, and it was successfully re-presented and passed within days. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle consistently clearing inspection criteria over the last three test cycles and no recurring defect categories appearing in the record. At six years of age with 40,253 miles recorded, this Levante is accumulating roughly 6,709 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a high-end European SUV of this class, though it leans towards the lower end of average utilisation. This mileage profile suggests a mix of regular use and periods of standing, which carries specific implications for a vehicle of this calibre. Routine wear items such as brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension bushes will have aged through both mileage and calendar exposure, and components susceptible to time-based degradation including cooling system hoses, air conditioning condensers, and the complex electronic modules Maserati is known for may exhibit issues regardless of low odometer readings. Given the clean MOT record, there are no advisories to chase through the official data, but prospective buyers should nonetheless conduct a thorough physical inspection owing to the age and luxury specification of this vehicle. Tyres warrant close examination for sidewall perishing and cracking, as Maserati OE fitments are often high-performance items that degrade noticeably with age even if tread depth remains acceptable; check the date codes on the sidewalls and budget for a full set if any are older than five years. The 12V battery, which on these vehicles also supports complex ECU memory and key coding, should be load-tested, particularly if the car has stood for extended periods, as low mileage combined with short journeys is a classic recipe for premature battery failure. Brake discs should be inspected for corrosion pitting and lipping, and the calipers for binding, which is common on cars that see only light use, and the brake fluid should be assumed due for replacement purely on a calendar basis irrespective of MOT findings. Underneath the vehicle, examine the suspension components including coil springs, control arm bushes, and anti-roll bar links for any deterioration, as these are wear items that progress steadily with calendar age, and listen for clonks or knocks over uneven surfaces during a test drive. On a road test, pay particular attention to the behaviour of the twin-turbocharged V6, listening for any hesitation, irregular idle, or abnormal exhaust noise, and check that the ZF automatic transmission shifts smoothly through all ranges without flare or harsh engagement, as this gearbox is sensitive to fluid condition. Verify that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after start-up, that the air conditioning cools effectively, and that all infotainment and driver assistance functions operate without fault, as Maserati electronics can be costly to rectify. Finally, confirm a complete main dealer or Maserati specialist service history with stamps at the correct intervals, ideally including recent replacement of the engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant, and consider a pre-purchase inspection by a marque specialist given the complexity and parts cost associated with this model.
