2019 Maserati Levante D V6 — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 484 MOT tests, the 2019 Maserati Levante D V6 recorded a 91.5% pass rate. All cars of a similar age fail 10.0% of the time, so this is 1.5pp better than the group it competes with. Failures cluster in tyres, visibility and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (4.1%) and visibility (2.3%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, wipers and registration plates — tread depth alone was recorded 11 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2019 Levante D V6 fails 7.9% of the time in the 0-30k band and 8.9% at 60-90k, a spread of only 1.0 points.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 19.0% of tests without failing them.

What to check before buying a 2019 Levante D V6
On a 2019 Levante D V6, tyres is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 4.1% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Tyres (4.1% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Visibility (2.3% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Brakes (1.9% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
