Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Given the very low annual mileage, the primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure that oil changes and major intervals have been adhered to based on time rather than just distance. Check for any signs of 'sitting' issues, such as flat spots on tyres or battery degradation, which can affect vehicles used sparingly.
Negotiate based on the current state of consumables. While the MOT record is clean, the low mileage suggests that tyres and brake pads may be original or old, potentially requiring replacement soon regardless of the remaining tread depth.
The 3604cc petrol engine places this vehicle in a high tax bracket and results in significant fuel consumption. Insurance groups for the Macan are typically high, reflecting its performance and repair costs.
Maintenance for Porsche vehicles is generally more expensive than for mass-market SUVs. Between fuel, premium insurance, road tax, and scheduled servicing, the annual outlay will be substantial.
Although this specific car has no MOT failures, aggregate data for the Macan shows that tyres, headlamps, and windscreen wipers are common failure points. Carefully inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking and check the date codes, as low-mileage cars often have tyres that are legally treaded but aged.
Test the operation of all external lighting and the effectiveness of the windscreen wipers. Finally, check the brake discs for surface corrosion, which is common in vehicles that do not see frequent high-speed use.
This 2016 grey Porsche Macan has covered 38,512 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. Between 2021 and 2025, the vehicle has passed four MOT tests without a single recorded defect or advisory. It offers a rare combination of low usage and a clean regulatory record for the 3.6L petrol variant.
The Macan maintains a strong reputation for reliability, evidenced by a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 92.3%.
