Maserati Levante Gransport V6 MOT pass rate & common failures
1,450 MOT tests on the Maserati Levante Gransport V6 (2019–2021) give it an 89.3% pass rate. All cars of a similar age fail 9.4% of the time, so this is 1.3pp worse than the group it competes with. Its most common failure areas are tyres, visibility and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (6.9%) and visibility (3.9%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, tread depth and brake pads — wipers alone was recorded 57 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the Levante Gransport V6 fails 9.9% of the time in the 0-30k band and 13.7% at 60-90k, a spread of only 3.8 points.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 21.0% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 7.8% of tests failed in 2022 against 11.3% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a Maserati Levante Gransport V6
- Tyres (6.9% 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 (3.9% 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.
