2019 Maserati Levante V6 — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2019 Maserati Levante V6 passed 90.6% of its 608 recorded MOT tests. That is effectively the same as all cars of a similar age (10.0% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in tyres, visibility and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
One area stands out: tyres, recorded in 6.4% of tests against 3.1% for the next-worst category.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, brake pads and wipers — tread depth alone was recorded 21 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2019 Levante V6 fails 6.1% of the time in the 0-30k band and 5.7% at 60-90k, a spread of only 0.4 points.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 20.7% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

| 0-30k | 264 | 6.1% |
| 30-60k | 307 | 12.7% |
| 60-90k | 35 | 5.7% |

What to check before buying a 2019 Levante V6
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 6.4% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (6.4% 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 (3.1% 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 (2.3% 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.
