2017 Maserati Levante D V6 Auto 3.0L Diesel · LU63 KAS

A flawless diagnostic sweep concluded the testing schedule on June 8, 2026, culminating in a clean pass with zero recorded defects, extending a sequence of four consecutive fault-free annual examinations dating back to November 2024. This stability follows an earlier phase characterized by minor peripheral observations, indicating a consistent trajectory of roadworthiness during recent years. While consecutive clean sheets suggest that the Levante has met statutory safety and environmental standards at the time of each annual inspection, prospective buyers must remember that an MOT certificate evaluates basic roadworthiness on a given day and does not verify the overall internal mechanical health of the engine or transmission. Accumulating 71,268 miles across roughly nine years yields an average of approximately 7,919 miles per annum, representing a typical UK usage pattern that avoids the accelerated wear associated with high-mileage fleet use while equally sidestepping the stationary degradation risks sometimes linked to extended storage. The regularity of the testing intervals confirms that the vehicle has remained in active, continuous service without notable gaps or prolonged periods of inactivity that might otherwise induce premature corrosion or sticking components. Targeted inspection of the front-end architecture is nonetheless warranted on the physical test drive, given that a previous examination highlighted slight play in the nearside front inner steering rack joint during the May 2023 test. During your road test on varying road surfaces, listen carefully for any structural knocking, clunking, or vague steering feedback when turning the wheel from lock to lock at low speeds, which would confirm persistent wear within the steering linkage or associated suspension bushes. Furthermore, verify that the tyre tread depth across all four corners exceeds the legal minimum and examine the inner shoulders for uneven wear patterns, recalling the offside front tyre advisory noted in May 2022. Check the heavy-duty diesel drivetrain and automatic transmission for smooth power delivery without hesitation, fluid leaks, or excessive vibrations, ensuring that the complex electronics and high-torque mechanical components operate quietly and reliably across all driving modes.
