PORSCHE macan2018 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy today, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 June 2026 at 38,662 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of neglect in mid-2024. While the car currently meets the minimum safety-related standards, the clean sheet from the latest test indicates that previous issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently in a stable state. At 38,662 miles, this eight-year-old Porsche has clocked significantly, averaging approximately 4,833 miles per year. This low usage profile often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but introduces specific risks regarding rubber-based components. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 4,400 miles covered between 2025 and 2026, and another 3,800 miles in the preceding year. This slow accumulation suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which explains the material degradation noted in the records. A buyer must specifically inspect the physical condition of the tyres, as the history reveals a recurring pattern of perishing and cracking. In June 2024, the vehicle failed the test due to damaged tyres across all four corners, including a cut reaching the cords. A similar advisory appeared again in June 2025 for the front and offside rear tyres. These recurring faults suggest that the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread depth. You should check for sidewall cracking and flat spots to ensure the current set is not nearing the end of its life. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should also focus on the suspension bushings and braking system. Long periods of inactivity can cause brake calipers to seize or develop surface corrosion on the discs, while rubber components can perish. While the MOT record has not flagged structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the lack of high-mileage use necessitates a thorough check of fluid freshness and components that are subject to time-based degradation.
