Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a low-mileage die
When inspecting this specific 4.2L diesel Cayenne, prioritize verifying the full service history, particularly regarding timing chain inspections and diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance, which are critical for high-displacement diesel engines. Given the relatively low mileage, check that the vehicle has been used for more than just short urban trips to prevent carbon buildup.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres; while the 2022 MOT noted nearside rear tyre wear and perishing, ensure the current set is deep and free of cracks. Ask for evidence of any major scheduled Porsche maintenance that may be due as the vehicle approaches the 45,000-mile mark.
As a 4134cc diesel, running costs will be influenced by the high fuel tax on large-capacity engines, though diesel efficiency helps on long motorway hauls. Expect the insurance group to be relatively high given the Porsche brand and engine size.
Maintenance costs for this model can be substantial, particularly for braking components and specialist parts. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a provision for maintenance, sits in the higher bracket for a premium SUV.
Review the tyre condition thoroughly; the MOT history shows a pattern of tyre issues, including a nail in the offside rear in 2023 and perishing/wear issues in 2022. Ensure all four tyres are of a premium brand suitable for a high-torque diesel engine.
Inspect the braking system and headlamps, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model aggregate. Given the 4.2L engine's power, ensure the brake discs and pads show no signs of excessive wear or unevenness.
This 2016 Porsche Cayenne features a 4.2L diesel engine and has recorded 42,916 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. Compared to the model average of 7,324 miles per year, this vehicle has been driven considerably less than typical for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pass rate, with only minor tyre-related issues noted in previous years.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 88.1% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, headlamps, and brake pads.
