2014 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · B3 EKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 105,679 miles was a pass with only a minor advisory on a nearside rear tyre, the preceding year showed a dip in vehicle upkeep standards. The failure in May 2025 due to an inoperative engine management light indicates a significant mechanical fault that was addressed only before the re-test. This trend suggests the owner prioritizes resolving faults only when they threaten an MOT certificate. At 105,679 miles, the Cayenne has averaged approximately 8,800 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical usage patterns for a twelve-year-old luxury SUV. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 6,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regular use suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals, though the total mileage remains significant. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and tyre alignment, as recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edges in 2024 and 2025 suggest potential issues with worn suspension bushes, control arm bushings, or incorrect geometry. The engine management light failure in 2025 also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in sensors that were simply cleared for the test. Given the age and mileage, close attention to the brake calipers for corrosion and the exhaust for leaks is essential, as these are common points of failure for this model at this interval.
