PORSCHE macan2021 · 2.9L PETROL

The Porsche Macan passed its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 58,298 miles, though the maintenance trend regarding its tyres is clearly worsening. Just six days prior to this pass, the vehicle failed with a dangerous defect for a cord-exposed nearside rear tyre and severely worn front tyres. The tester flagged a damaged windscreen in both the September 2025 tests, a minor issue that does not compromise structural integrity. Replacing the tyres allowed the vehicle to pass, but the rapid degradation from an advisory in January 2024 to a dangerous failure by September 2025 suggests previous owners neglected basic wheel alignment and suspension checks. Accumulating 58,298 miles over five years equates to roughly 11,660 miles annually, a typical usage pattern for this model. The mileage progression shows consistent utilization, with the car covering 16,608 miles between the January 2024 test at 41,690 miles and the September 2025 test at 58,298 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than prolonged standing, meaning drivetrain and braking components have experienced consistent operational wear rather than sitting idle. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and inner wheel arches before purchase. The repeated tyre failures, specifically the nearside rear cord exposure and severe inner edge wear on the fronts, indicate chronic misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Uneven inner wear often points to failing compliance bushes or distorted suspension components, common on heavy SUVs. Inspect the inner sidewalls of the current tyres for similar feathering or scrubbing. Examine the subframes and suspension arms for corrosion or impact damage, as Porsche Macans driven aggressively or on damaged roads frequently develop structural cracks or seized components. Verify the windscreen damage does not spread across the driver's line of vision, though this remains a cosmetic and visibility concern rather than a structural risk.
