2015 Porsche Macan 3.0L Diesel · 78 EH

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the majority of its testing history showing no recorded defects across eight consecutive years. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 resulted in a pass, though it did note a minor defect regarding a defective offside windscreen wiper blade. While the record is largely devoid of failures, a period of advisories in 2022 regarding rear brake pad wear and tyre perishing indicates specific areas where consumable components reached the end of their service life, though subsequent tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 show no recurrence of these issues. The vehicle has covered 78,651 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,150 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to the heavy, high-frequency motorway or urban commuting typical of higher-mileage examples. Mechanically, this lower annual mileage means that while drivetrain components may have less cumulative wear, there is a greater likelihood of components such as rubber bushes, seals, and tyres ageing due to time rather than distance, as evidenced by the 2022 advisory for tyre cracking and perishing. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. Although the 2022 advisory for thin rear brake pads was not repeated in later tests, it is prudent to inspect the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear. During a test drive, listen for any squealing or grinding noises when applying the brakes and check for any pedal judder, which could indicate warped discs or sticking calipers. Given the previous mention of tyre perishing, examine the sidewalls and tread grooves of all four tyres for any signs of cracking, bulging, or uneven wear patterns that could affect grip and handling. Finally, ensure all peripheral visibility components are fully operational. The 2025 advisory regarding the offside windscreen wiper blade should be verified to ensure the motor and arm function smoothly without hesitation or streaking. While the MOT history does not show structural or suspension failures, the low annual mileage profile warrants a close look at any rubber components for signs of age-related degradation. Check for any excessive movement in the steering or unusual knocks and clunks when driving over uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or linkages.
