2012 Porsche Panamera D V6 Tiptronic Auto 3.0L Diesel · C7 CUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in April 2026 at 80,248 miles passed with a minor advisory for an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp. This fault has persisted for three years, appearing as a failure in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 records, suggesting the owner only addresses defects when they are necessary to pass the annual inspection. At 80,248 miles, this fourteen-year-old Porsche has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with roughly 6,500 miles covered between March 2024 and April 2026. While the low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the failure in March 2025 at 76,972 miles involving four tyres reaching or exceeding legal wear limits or showing exposed cords indicates that basic consumable maintenance has been neglected until the point of failure. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges across multiple years suggest potential issues with geometry or worn control arm bushes. The inoperative headlamp levelling device from 2025 also requires physical verification to ensure the electronic adjustment systems are functioning correctly. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for rubber degradation and brake caliper or disc corrosion, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits for long periods between uses.
