2008 Porsche Cayman 3.4L Petrol · S666 ABO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 11 March 2026 at 86,236 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent history shows a pattern of neglecting consumable items. The car failed its test on 09 March 2026 due to both nearside and offside rear tyres falling below the 1.6mm legal tread depth requirement. This mirrors a previous failure in April 2019 at 57,036 miles, where the tester also flagged insufficient tread on both rear tyres. Such recurring issues suggest that while the vehicle is mechanically maintained, the owner occasionally allows basic wear items to reach the legal limit before addressing them. The mileage profile indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,791 miles per year over its 18-year lifespan. The data shows consistent, albeit slow, progression, with the mileage increasing from 30,777 in March 2014 to the current 86,236 miles. This low-mileage usage pattern often means components like suspension bushes or seals may experience more age-related degradation than mechanical wear. The records show no significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections maintained consistently since 2014. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and exhaust assembly. The 2018 test at 52,819 miles flagged pitted and scored brake discs on all four corners, and the 2019 test noted fluctuating service brakes. While these issues were resolved for subsequent passes, the history of brake disc surface degradation and fluctuation warrants a close check of the calipers and discs for uneven wear or binding. The 2025 test also noted a slightly loose rear exhaust silencer, so the integrity of the exhaust mounting points should be verified. Finally, inspect the lighting and battery security. The 2024 record noted an insecure battery and a position lamp affected by the turn signal. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of perished rubber components or fluid leaks that can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. The recent tyre failures suggest that any upcoming service should include a thorough assessment of the remaining tyre tread and sidewall condition to ensure they meet safety standards.
