2014 Porsche Macan 3.0L Diesel · AK12 MAT

A largely spotless MOT record defines this 2014 Porsche Macan – eight consecutive passes since 2019 with no recorded failures, and the most recent test on 2 March 2026 confirming a pass. The only blemish appears in the 2021 MOT, where advisories flagged the nearside and off‑side rear tyres as being close to the legal limit, but no further advisories have been noted in subsequent tests, suggesting the tyre wear issue was addressed. At 94,243 miles the vehicle averages roughly 7,850 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the normal range for a twelve‑year‑old premium SUV. The testing cadence is regular, with annual MOTs apart from a seven‑month interval between the August 2022 and March 2023 tests, which does not indicate any unusual periods of inactivity. This mileage profile points to moderate use rather than high‑stress, high‑kilometre running, meaning consumables such as brake pads, suspension components and drivetrain parts are likely to be within expected wear limits for their age. Given the tyre‑wear advisories recorded in 2021, a prospective buyer should give the current tyre condition priority. Inspect tread depth across all four tyres, looking for uneven wear patterns that could signal mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes, or damaged wheel bearings. During a test drive, listen for any humming or growling from the rear wheels, feel for pulling to one side when cruising on a straight, level road, and verify that the steering remains steady without excessive play. Also check the tyre sidewalls for cracks or bulges that could indicate ageing rubber, especially important on a vehicle with a relatively low annual mileage where tyres may have been on the car for an extended period. Beyond the tyres, the clean MOT history implies that major systems such as brakes, emissions, and structural integrity have passed inspection without issue. Nevertheless, with just under 100 000 miles it is prudent to examine brake pads and discs for thickness and glazing, and to test the pedal feel for any judder that might reveal hidden wear. A brief visual check for oil leaks around the engine bay and under the chassis, as well as a quick assessment of suspension bushings for looseness or cracking, will round out a thorough pre‑purchase inspection and help confirm that the Macan’s roadworthiness remains consistent with its MOT record.
