2009 Porsche Cayman 2.9L Petrol · DA09 KPF

The current roadworthiness status of this Porsche Cayman is positive, with the most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 73,441 miles resulting in a clean pass. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement following a period of neglect in late 2024. While the vehicle failed its initial inspection in November 2024 due to dangerous tyre wear and suspension issues, the subsequent pass just four days later indicates that these critical items were rectified promptly. The absence of advisories in the most recent test suggests the current owner has addressed previous mechanical shortcomings, returning the vehicle to a stable operating condition. The recorded mileage of 73,441 over seventeen years averages approximately 4,320 miles annually, which is notably low for a performance-oriented vehicle. This usage pattern suggests the car has spent significant periods in storage or served as a secondary vehicle. The jump from 65,064 miles in February 2024 to 71,234 miles by November 2024 shows a brief period of higher usage, followed by minimal accumulation of roughly 2,200 miles in the last seven months. Low annual mileage can lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components if the car sits idle for extended durations, so the lack of recent movement warrants a thorough check of the braking system. Potential buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre health, given the history of edge wear and ball joint play. Although the nearside front shock absorber showed light misting in late 2024, it did not reappear as an advisory in the latest test, yet it remains a component worth monitoring for signs of leaking fluid or damping inconsistency. Check the inner edges of all tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this often points to underlying alignment issues common in mid-engined platforms. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion on the subframes and ensure the registration plate lamps remain fully functional, as this was a previously flagged electrical item.
