Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Maserati Levante D V6 Owners

These checks follow this Maserati Levante D V6's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Maserati Levante D V6.

  • the tyre tread — “tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm”

    Check all four tyres cold, including the inner shoulder where wear hides — 1.6mm across the central three-quarters is the legal limit, and most testers fail at 1.6mm without argument.

  • the suspension joints — “track rod end ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated,”

    With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

  • the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

    Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Maserati Levante D V6. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
