2018 Porsche Cayenne 4.0L Petrol · AE18 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record across its last three tests. The most recent inspection on 10 June 2024 at 11,572 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day which listed no specific faults. This anomaly suggests an administrative error or a technical tester glitch rather than a mechanical failure, as the subsequent clearance cleared the vehicle without any advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,446 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 4,307 miles and the September 2023 test at 5,911 miles, the car covered only 1,604 miles in fourteen months. This indicates the vehicle likely spends long periods in stationary storage. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake components, such long intervals of inactivity can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and tyre spotting that a standard MOT may not detect. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from lack of use. Given the gaps between tests, the suspension bushes and bushings should be examined for signs of drying, and the rubber seals should be verified to ensure they have not perished over time. The mechanical history shows no structural or recurring faults, but the age-to-mileage ratio necessitates a thorough check of fluid-related items and rubber integrity.
