2016 Porsche Cayman 3.8L Petrol · 2 ROR

The Porsche Cayman presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record spanning five consecutive passes. The most recent test on 5 June 2026 at 9,373 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged perishing and cracking on the outer sidewalls of both front tyres. This is a minor advisory rather than a failure, but it signals the onset of age-related rubber degradation. No mechanical or structural defects have ever been recorded against the vehicle, indicating consistent baseline maintenance over the last five years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2016 vehicle. Recorded miles moved from 6,407 in August 2021 to 9,373 by June 2026, a gain of roughly 2,966 miles over nearly five years, or approximately 593 miles per year in that window. Earlier years show similarly modest accumulation, with only 300 miles added between August 2022 and June 2024. Such low annual use suggests either very light commuting or extended periods of inactivity, which can itself cause issues with dried-out rubber components, stale fuel, and moisture ingress in brake fluid despite the low recorded distance. The sole recurring theme in the MOT history is tyre condition. The June 2026 advisory on both front tyres points to age-related perishing rather than high-mileage wear, consistent with a car that sits unused for long stretches. Tyre sidewall damage of this nature can progress to bulging or sudden deflation if left unaddressed, so a buyer should verify the date codes on all four tyres and budget for replacement if the rubber is more than six years old, regardless of remaining tread depth. Beyond tyres, the absence of any suspension, brake, or structural advisories across five tests is encouraging for a low-mileage sports car. A buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, as standing vehicles can trap moisture in crevices. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface rust or uneven wear from short trips, and the condition of rubber bushes and coil springs should be verified in person given the car's age, even though no tester has yet flagged degradation.
