2016 PORSCHE CAYENNE3.0L DIESEL

The 2016 Porsche Cayenne presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 12 November 2025 at 75,726 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent entry in the record, dated roughly seven months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the certificate is still valid and the vehicle has been confirmed roadworthy within the current MOT cycle. The only defect in the entire five-year history was a minor lighting fault, an inoperative offside registration plate lamp noted on 16 November 2023 at 64,300 miles, which was evidently rectified before the following year's test. No recurring mechanical, structural, or braking faults appear anywhere in the record. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between 2021 and 2025, the recorded intervals show annual usage of roughly 10,000 to 13,000 miles, with the largest single-year jump of 10,278 miles occurring between the November 2022 test at 51,828 miles and the November 2023 test at 64,300 miles. The subsequent two intervals, 10,308 miles to November 2024 and 1,118 miles to November 2025, suggest the vehicle saw significantly reduced use in its most recent period. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden drops that would raise concern about mileage tampering or extended periods of disuse. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not continuously monitor. The Cayenne's air suspension system, common on this generation, merits close attention for compressor failure, leaky air struts, and uneven ride height, particularly given the reduced mileage in the most recent year, which can cause seals to dry out. The braking system should be inspected for seized guide pins and uneven disc wear, as Porsche calipers on higher-mileage examples are prone to binding. Underbody corrosion around the subframes, suspension mounting points, and inner wing arches should be checked, especially if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. The PDK transmission, if fitted, requires verification that the service interval has been observed, as this is not captured by the MOT. Tyre condition and date codes should also be confirmed, since the low recent mileage may mean the current set is aged rather than worn.
