2018 Porsche Panamera 2.9L Petrol · E3 RAF

This Porsche Panamera has a significant recent MOT failure that requires urgent attention before purchase. In July 2025, the vehicle failed its MOT due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), which is a critical safety and emissions control issue. The same test recorded nails embedded in both front tyres. The vehicle was then re-tested and passed, but the tyre damage remained unresolved on the pass certificate. The pattern of tyre wear is the most concerning trend in this history. The 2024 MOT revealed that three of the four tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, which typically indicates either aggressive driving, under-inflation, or suspension misalignment. By July 2025, nails had penetrated both front tyres, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven on damaged roads or in poor conditions without prompt tyre replacement or repair. The fact that the nails were present at both the failed and passed test one year later indicates the tyres were not replaced between tests. The vehicle's mileage of 32,526 miles over approximately eight years is notably low, averaging around 4,066 miles per year. While this could reflect careful use, it also raises questions about whether the car has spent extended periods stationary.
