Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
When viewing this Macan, your primary focus should be on the oil leak noted in the October 2023 MOT. You must confirm whether this was addressed and if any subsequent leaks have been identified. Given the recent advisories for near-side and off-side tyres being worn close to the legal limit in 2025, check the current tread depth and ensure the tyres are of a premium brand suitable for a high-performance SUV.
Ask for a detailed service history to see how the brake pad wear noted in 2023 has been managed. Because this model is a performance-oriented vehicle, maintenance of consumables like brakes and tyres is critical. Ensure all work has been documented by a specialist or main dealer to mitigate the risks associated with the recorded mechanical advisories.
Running this 3.0L petrol Macan will involve significant costs compared to standard SUVs. Expect higher-than-average fuel consumption due to the large engine displacement and insurance groups typically associated with the Porsche brand.
Maintenance costs are likely to be high, particularly regarding the tyres and braking systems which have appeared frequently in the MOT history. You should budget for premium parts to maintain the vehicle's performance standards. An estimated annual running cost would cover fuel, tax, insurance, and a higher-than-average maintenance contingency.
Inspect the engine bay and underside thoroughly for any signs of active oil weeping, following the 'oil leak, but not excessive' advisory from 2023. Even if the leak was not excessive then, it is a known point of interest for this vehicle's history.
Check the condition of all four tyres; the 2025 MOT highlighted both front and rear issues with tyres being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This could indicate alignment issues. Additionally, verify the condition of the brake pads and discs, as the 2023 MOT specifically flagged thin brake pads on both the front and rear.
This 2017 Porsche Macan, finished in white with a 2997cc petrol engine, has covered 59,129 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The MOT history shows a pattern of consumable wear, specifically regarding tyres and brake pads, alongside a noted oil leak in 2023. Its mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,288 miles per year, which would be approximately 58,304 miles for a vehicle of this age.
The Macan shows a high aggregate MOT pass rate of 92.4% across 37,998 analysed vehicles, with common issues typically relating to tyres and lighting.
