2014 PORSCHE PANAMERA3.0L DIESEL

The Porsche Panamera presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 8 April 2026 at 75,921 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past three years shows a clear improvement, moving from a critical failure in early 2023 to a fully defect-free status today. This trajectory suggests the previous owner addressed significant suspension and braking faults promptly and has since maintained the vehicle to a high standard, with no new advisories emerging in the most recent two tests. The recorded mileage of 75,921 miles over approximately twelve years equates to roughly 6,327 miles per year, which is typical for a grand tourer of this type. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing without notable gaps, and the mileage accumulation between tests remains steady, rising by approximately 1,800 to 2,000 miles per year. There are no sudden jumps or suspiciously low intervals that would indicate long periods of standing or odometer discrepancies, reinforcing a pattern of regular, light use. The 2023 failure is the most significant event in the record. On 2 March 2023 at 71,284 miles, both rear coil springs were fractured or broken, a serious defect that directly compromises suspension structural integrity and vehicle control. The fact that the car passed on 23 March 2023 at 71,300 miles with no suspension defects confirms both springs were replaced within three weeks. A buyer should still inspect the rear suspension carefully, checking for any corrosion on the spring seats, dampers for leaks, and lower arms and bushes for wear, to verify the quality of the repair and ensure no secondary damage occurred from the broken springs. Brake wear appears as a recurring theme across multiple tests. In 2024, both inner rear brake discs were flagged as worn, and front and rear pads were noted as getting low. The 2023 tests also flagged brake pads wearing thin. While the 2026 test recorded no brake defects, indicating fresh components have been fitted, a buyer should verify the condition of the current discs and pads in person, as well as checking for any uneven wear or binding calipers that could suggest deferred maintenance between replacement intervals. The nearside front tyre advisory from 2025 regarding cracking or perishing also warrants a close visual inspection of all four tyres, including sidewalls and age codes, to confirm they have been replaced since that advisory was issued.
