What should you check when buying a used Levante?
The areas above, most common first, and what an MOT tester looks at in each.
1
Tyres
Check tread depth across the full width of every tyre (the legal minimum is 1.6mm), and look for cuts, bulges and uneven wear. 43.5% of Levante failure items.
2
Visibility
Check the windscreen for chips or cracks in the driver's view, and that the wipers and washers clear it properly. 17.7% of Levante failure items.
3
Brakes
Make sure the pedal feels firm, the car stops in a straight line, the handbrake holds on a slope and no brake warning light is showing. 14.4% of Levante failure items.
4
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment
Walk round with every light on: headlights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights and the number plate lamp. Check no warning lights stay on after starting. 7.8% of Levante failure items.
5
Noise, emissions and leaks
Listen for a blowing exhaust, watch for smoke on start-up and look under the car for oil or fluid leaks. 6.6% of Levante failure items.

What the MOT record doesn't tell you
Knowing Maserati Levante failures cluster around tyres and visibility tells you what to inspect. It tells you nothing about whether the car is safe to buy. An MOT does not show money still owed on the car, a write-off, a theft record or a clocked odometer.

Used Maserati Levante FAQs
Is the Maserati Levante reliable?
MOT data does not measure reliability. It records whether a car met the roadworthiness standard on the day of its test. What it does show is an 86.4% first-time pass rate for the Maserati Levante across 3,047 tests in 2025, above the 72.3% average for all cars.
Do older Maserati Levante cars fail their MOT more often?
Maserati Levante cars aged 3 to 5 years passed 87.9% of MOT tests in 2025; for examples aged 6 to 10 years that fell to 84.8%. On an older example, the car's own MOT history tells you more than the model average.
What should I check before buying a used Maserati Levante?
On the car itself, start with the areas it most often fails on: tyres, visibility and brakes. Then check the individual car's history: outstanding finance, insurance write-off records, stolen markers, mileage and previous keepers. None of these appear in the MOT record or on the V5C.
How do I check a Maserati Levante's history?
Enter the registration of the specific car. A Carpeep car history check reports outstanding finance, write-off category, stolen markers, mileage history, previous keepers, MOT and tax status, import and export markers and scrapped status in one £15 report.
MOT figures are aggregated from the DVSA MOT Anonymised data set for 2025 (class 4 initial tests, retests excluded), licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. MOT results describe roadworthiness at test, not mechanical reliability.
