2018 Porsche Cayman 2.0L Petrol · B7 OBH

This Porsche Cayman demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT test on 29 April 2026 confirming no defects at 69,651 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across all five tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently within legal limits, though the September 2022 test revealed all four tyres were worn close to the legal minimum—an issue that did not recur in subsequent tests. The lack of structural or mechanical advisories implies no progressive deterioration in suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, though visual confirmation of these components remains essential. The most critical observation remains the tyre condition in 2022, which indicates either deferred maintenance or aggressive driving habits at that time. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 8,700 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests (just over a year) is slightly longer than the usual 12-month MOT cycle. This suggests the vehicle was tested early in 2024, potentially due to proximity to the 12-month anniversary or proactive ownership. No advisories in later tests imply any deferred maintenance from this period was addressed promptly. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the alignment and condition of the front and rear bushes, given the Cayman’s performance-oriented handling demands. The brakes, while not flagged in recent tests, should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion around the wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust system warrants close examination, as Porsche models can be prone to salt-induced deterioration in coastal or winter-driven regions. The most urgent focus remains the tyres—while the 2026 test passed, tread depth should be rechecked immediately, and any signs of uneven wear or edge damage should be investigated to rule out alignment or suspension issues.
