2009 Porsche Panamera 4.8L Petrol · J100 RSF

The Porsche Panamera holds a current, valid MOT certificate issued on 8 May 2026 at 103,723 miles, passing with minor advisories rather than any dangerous or major defects. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though not entirely clean, showing a recurring pattern of brake disc wear and tyre condition issues across multiple test cycles. The most recent test flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and on the edges, alongside inner face corrosion on both rear brake discs, suggesting the car has been covering enough miles to generate genuine wear but not always receiving perfectly timed preventative replacement. The vehicle has covered roughly 34,706 miles over the five-year MOT history recorded here, averaging approximately 6,941 miles per year. This sits slightly above the 6,101 miles-per-year lifetime average calculated from its 17-year age, indicating a modest uptick in recent use. The mileage progression is consistent and free of suspicious gaps, moving from 69,017 miles in March 2022 to 103,723 miles by May 2026, with no periods of apparent long-term storage or sudden jumps that would raise odometer concerns. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system, as inner face corrosion on the rear brake discs appeared in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, signalling a persistent issue rather than a one-off. Pitted or scored disc faces combined with inner corrosion often points to pad wear leaving the inner friction ring exposed to moisture, potentially from binding calipers or seized guide pins. Inspect the rear caliper slides, handbrake mechanism, and disc thickness variation before committing. The repeated appearance of tyres worn to the legal limit and on the edges, noted in both 2023 and 2026, suggests the car may be driven in a way that loads the outer tread excessively or that alignment and suspension geometry need checking. Have a specialist measure tracking and inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for wear that could induce uneven tyre scrub. While no structural corrosion or emissions failures have appeared on record, a physical underbody inspection remains prudent on a 17-year-old performance saloon to confirm the integrity of load-bearing points and exhaust mounting areas.
