2008 Porsche Cayman 3.4L Petrol · L88 CAY

A consistent pattern of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 23 September 2025 showing no recorded defects. While the record contains a few isolated advisories from previous years, the trend has moved toward a period of zero defects over the last four testing cycles. This indicates that previous issues regarding braking components and steering precision have either been addressed or have not progressed into immediate failure points, resulting in a stable recent history. The vehicle has covered 72,337 miles over its eighteen-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 4,019 miles. This represents a low-mileage usage profile for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, such a pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-frequency road wear, but it also necessitates an inspection of components that can degrade through lack of use or long periods of inactivity, such as rubber seals and fluid integrity. Specific attention should be paid to the steering and braking systems, as the 2021 record flagged slight free play in the offside front steering rack and pitting or scoring on both front brake discs. During a test drive, listen for any clicking or clunking noises when turning the steering wheel at low speeds and feel for any wandering or lack of precision in the steering response. Regarding the brakes, check for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal when decelerating from higher speeds, which could indicate uneven disc wear or surface irregularities. The 2020 advisory regarding a corroded nearside rear brake pipe covered in grease warrants a visual inspection of the hydraulic lines for any signs of weeping or advanced oxidation. Although no recent advisories have been issued, ensuring that the brake lines are clear of debris and that the corrosion has not progressed is essential for structural integrity. A thorough check of the underbody for any signs of fluid leaks or mounting degradation is also advised to ensure the previous advisories remain resolved.
