2021 Maserati Levante 3.0L Diesel · P55 PVC

The most recent MOT test conducted on 29 December 2025 resulted in a pass, although it introduced several advisories following a completely clean test in January 2025. This suggests a slight decline in the vehicle's immediate condition or a period of deferred maintenance toward the end of the calendar year. While the vehicle remains legally roadworthy, the emergence of multiple minor faults indicates that the maintenance trend is shifting from a pristine state toward one requiring more active attention to consumables and electronic sensors. With a recorded mileage of 46,201 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,240 miles per annum. This usage profile is typical for a premium SUV of this class and suggests a balanced duty cycle without the extreme wear associated with high-mileage motorway use or the carbon build-up often found in vehicles used exclusively for short urban trips. Mechanically, this mileage puts the vehicle in a phase where initial factory components are reaching their mid-life point, meaning wear on suspension bushes and brake hardware is expected but should not yet be critical. The current advisories require specific attention during a pre-purchase inspection. The broken brake pad warning wire on the nearside rear is a minor electrical fault, but it prevents the vehicle from accurately alerting the driver to pad wear. You should verify the actual remaining thickness of the rear pads to ensure they have not been neglected. The tyre cut on the offside front, while not currently a failure, warrants a close inspection for any bulging or structural weakness in the sidewall. During the test drive, pay close attention to the steering feel and listen for any unusual vibrations or thumps from the front end, which could indicate that the tyre damage is symptomatic of a harder impact affecting the wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Additionally, the active TPMS light suggests a sensor failure or a slow puncture that requires rectification. Beyond the MOT records, given the age and prestige of this Maserati, you must verify the service history for calendar-based maintenance. Ensure that engine oil and filters have been changed according to the manufacturer's intervals regardless of mileage, and check the condition of the 12V battery, as these vehicles are highly sensitive to voltage drops. Inspect the brake discs for any surface corrosion or lip formation, and ensure the tyres, despite their tread depth, show no signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur even with moderate mileage if the vehicle has spent significant time stationary.
