2014 Porsche Cayenne 4.1L Diesel · C21 CAY

A recurring pattern of brake system wear defines the recent testing history of this vehicle, specifically regarding thinning pads and worn rear discs across multiple years. While these issues appeared as consistent advisories from 2022 through early 2025, the record shows a transition to a test with no defects or advisories recorded on 12 February 2026. This indicates that the components flagged in previous years were likely addressed prior to the most recent inspection. The recorded mileage of 71,657 miles is low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,971 miles per year. This usage profile indicates the car has been used significantly less than the national average for a luxury SUV of this age. Such low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle may have experienced periods of inactivity or light duty, which can affect the degradation of rubber seals and the wear rate of consumables. Given the history of repeated advisories for front and rear brake pads and rear discs, a physical inspection should confirm that these components have been replaced. During a test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal for any softness or excessive travel, and listen for any scraping or grinding noises. Any vibration or judder felt through the steering wheel or brake pedal during deceleration would be a specific cause for concern regarding the flatness and integrity of the discs. The low mileage suggests that while drivetrain wear may be limited, the vehicle should be checked for any signs of perished suspension bushes or seized components. Listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvres, as parts that remain stationary for long periods can sometimes degrade. Ensure the steering feels weighted and precise without any unexpected pull or hesitation.
