2020 Maserati Levante 3.0L Diesel · XIA 127

The Maserati Levante’s most recent MOT record shows a clean pass in November 2025 at 41,243 miles, following a failure just two days earlier for tyre-related issues. The failure was purely a consumable matter—all four tyres were below the 1.6mm tread limit, with the nearside rear also worn unevenly—indicating a lapse in basic maintenance rather than any structural or mechanical degradation. No other defects were recorded in the 2025 tests, and the July 2024 pass at 36,537 miles also showed no issues, suggesting the vehicle’s core systems—brakes, suspension, steering, and emissions—have been well maintained in recent years. The only prior advisory in November 2023, at 29,701 miles, noted worn rear brake discs and thinning inner pads, but these were not repeated in subsequent tests, implying they were addressed promptly. Overall, the trend is stable, with no signs of recurring mechanical failures beyond routine wear items. The mileage accumulation of 6,874 miles per year aligns closely with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, though the lower-than-average annual mileage could reflect occasional periods of disuse or lighter driving conditions. The gap between the November 2023 test (29,701 miles) and the July 2024 test (36,537 miles) covers roughly eight months, which is standard for MOT intervals, while the 2025 tests at identical mileages suggest the vehicle may have sat unused for a short period before the final inspection. There’s no evidence of excessive mileage or rapid degradation, and the absence of defects in the 2024 and 2025 passes reinforces that the car has been cared for within expected parameters. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on verifying that the tyre failure in November 2025 was resolved with a full set of compliant tyres, as uneven wear or edge damage can indicate alignment or suspension issues. The 2023 advisories on rear brake discs and pads, though not repeated, warrant a closer inspection of the rear braking system—checking for excessive dust buildup, uneven wear patterns, or any signs of binding calipers. Given the Levante’s age and the prior brake advisories, a pre-purchase inspection should also assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and any visible corrosion in high-stress areas like the sills or wheel arches. The absence of structural defects or major mechanical failures in recent tests is positive, but the tyre failure highlights a need for vigilance in maintaining consumable items.
