2011 Porsche Cayman 2.9L Petrol · BR11 NEM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding neglected consumables and fluid integrity. The most recent test in October 2025 at 17,760 miles saw the car initially fail due to non-conforming registration plates and multiple tyre defects. While these were rectified for the pass, the persistent presence of a coolant leak noted in every test since October 2023 indicates an ongoing mechanical issue that the owner has opted to monitor rather than repair. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,184 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 17,257 miles and the 2025 test at 17,760 miles, the car covered only 503 miles over three years. This pattern suggests long periods of inactivity, which explains the perishing and cracking of the tyres noted in 2024 and 2025. Rubber degrades through age and lack of use regardless of tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front tyres, as the record shows recurring inner edge wear and perishing which suggests potential alignment issues or seized suspension components. The recurring coolant leak requires a professional pressure test to determine if it originates from a water pump or a housing failure. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake corrosion and seized moving parts, as these are common failure points for vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
