2004 Porsche Cayenne 3.2L Petrol · S70 KDS

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-24 recorded a pass with one major defect : the offside front inner drive shaft joint constant velocity boot was severely deteriorated. This is a critical safety issue, as a failed boot can lead to drivetrain failure and loss of vehicle control. The same defect was noted in the 2024-01-30 MOT (both passed and failed entries), indicating a recurring problem that may not have been fully resolved. A pattern of repeated drivetrain-related issues emerges, with the constant velocity boot defect appearing in three separate MOTs (2024, 2022, and 2026). While the 2026 MOT passed, the persistence of this defect suggests potential ongoing wear or inadequate repairs. Other issues, such as tyre cuts, light failures, and missing components, were also recorded but are less severe. These are likely cosmetic or minor functional concerns rather than safety-critical. The vehicle’s mileage of 133,623 miles for a 22-year-old car is typical , averaging ~6,074 miles annually. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, but the age means components like seals, gaskets, and suspension parts may be nearing the end of their lifespan. The lack of major defects in the 2021 MOT (which showed no issues) contrasts with later entries, indicating a gradual increase in faults over time.
