2010 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · S24 YDE

The 2010 Porsche Cayenne holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 23 May 2026 at 138,572 miles, passing with minor advisories. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though not flawless. The most recent test flagged worn rear suspension arm pins or bushes and both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, indicating the vehicle is being kept on the road but with deferred attention to ageing suspension components and consumables. A clean pass in June 2024 at 132,742 miles contrasts with a failure the previous month for an inoperative engine MIL and a seized nearside rear door, suggesting intermittent lapses in pre-test preparation rather than chronic neglect. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,661 miles per year over sixteen years is typical for a Cayenne of this generation, with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data. The odometer advanced 2,520 miles between the June 2025 and May 2026 tests, a modest increase consistent with regular but not heavy use. The record shows no periods of prolonged inactivity, meaning wear on drivetrain mounts, cooling system components, and rubber bushings is likely age-related as much as mileage-driven. A buyer should prioritise a detailed inspection of the rear suspension, given the recurring advisory for worn upper suspension arm pins or bushes appearing in the May 2026 test. On a vehicle of this age and mileage, deteriorated bushings often point to broader wear across lower arms, anti-roll bar links, and subframe mounts. The repeated appearance of rear tyre wear advisories in both 2023 and 2026 suggests possible alignment issues or a habit of neglecting rotation and tracking checks. The 2025 advisory on front brake pads wearing thin, combined with the 2023 note of a minor oil leak, warrants a close check of brake disc condition, fluid lines, and engine gaskets for any escalation. The failed door catch and inoperative engine MIL from the May 2024 test were rectified before the June 2024 retest, but a buyer should verify the MIL illuminates correctly on ignition and that all door mechanisms operate smoothly from both interior and exterior handles.
