Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
When inspecting this specific black Macan, prioritize checking the service history for the 2.9L diesel engine to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals. Given the 2023 MOT failure involving a snapped headlamp levelling device rod on the lower suspension arm, you should inspect the front suspension components for any signs of recent repair or lingering noise.
Negotiate based on the recent brake pad wear noted in the 2023 records; ensure the current braking system has been fully serviced since that advisory. Ask the seller for documentation regarding the repair of the nearside front lower headlamp levelling device to confirm the snapped rod was properly addressed.
As a 2967cc diesel, this Macan will offer better fuel economy on long motorway journeys compared to its petrol counterparts, though tax and insurance will reflect its premium status. Insurance groups for the Macan are typically mid-to-high, so obtain a quote based on the specific registration.
Maintenance costs for Porsche vehicles are generally higher than mainstream brands, particularly for consumables like tyres and brakes. Expect typical maintenance costs to be higher than average, with an estimated annual running cost of £1,400-£1,800 including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the front braking system, as the 2023 MOT history explicitly flagged front brake pads as wearing thin. While the 2024 and 2025 tests showed no defects, it is prudent to check the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs.
Additionally, inspect the nearside front suspension area. The 2023 failure was caused by a snapped headlamp levelling device rod on the lower suspension arm; ensure there are no signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension knocks that could indicate issues in that area. Finally, check that all headlamp levelling functions operate correctly during your test drive.
This 2017 Porsche Macan features a 2.9L diesel engine and has covered 55,689 miles as of February 2026. The vehicle's MOT history shows a relatively clean recent record, with the most recent test passing despite a minor inspection limitation regarding a child seat. While there was a failure in early 2023 related to brake pads and a headlamp levelling device, the subsequent tests have passed without defects.
The Macan shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.3% across 38,073 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally stable mechanical reliability.
