2018 Porsche Macan 3.0L Diesel · C18 DEB

The 2018 Porsche Macan last passed its MOT on 6 August 2025 at 78,075 miles with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy and the maintenance trend is stable to improving. The preceding test in August 2024 also showed a clean bill of health, while the only advisory from August 2023 concerned an offside registration plate lamp. No mechanical or structural faults have been logged in the past three years, suggesting consistent upkeep. Mileage accumulation has slowed markedly over the last three years. Between January 2021 and June 2022 the car added roughly 9,500 miles, yet the increase from June 2022 to August 2023 was only 6,200 miles, and the annual rise fell to 4,800 miles in 2024 before dropping to just 3,000 miles in the most recent year. This deceleration points to lighter usage or periods of storage rather than intensive daily running. The recorded average of about 10,000 miles per year for an eight‑year‑old Macan is within the typical range, but the recent plateau suggests the vehicle has been kept relatively idle. A prospective buyer should still inspect the lighting circuit, particularly the registration plate lamp, as the 2023 advisory indicates a possible filament or wiring fault. Given the mileage and age, a visual check of the suspension bushes, coil springs and brake disc condition is advisable to confirm no hidden wear. The exhaust system and under‑body for corrosion should be examined, as eight‑year‑old vehicles often develop rust in crease areas. Finally, tyre tread depth and wiper blades should be verified, as these consumables are not reflected in MOT records but are critical for safety and longevity.
