2016 Porsche Cayenne 4.1L Diesel · FD16 WNC

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-28 recorded a pass, but noted the nearside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This mirrors a pattern seen in the prior MOT on 2026-05-27, which failed due to a cut in the offside front tyre (deep enough to expose ply/cords) and both front tyres showing edge wear. These issues suggest ongoing tyre condition concerns, likely linked to alignment, suspension, or driving habits. The 2025-03-12 MOT highlighted thin offside rear brake pads and headlamp condensation, while the 2022-12-07 MOT noted front and rear brake disc wear, thin brake pads, and a nearside rear tyre nearing the limit. These recurring brake and tyre issues, combined with the 2026 failures, indicate a trend of gradual wear in critical safety components. The 2023-12-08 MOT was clean, but the subsequent 2025 and 2026 entries show a return of defects, suggesting the vehicle’s condition has not stabilized. Mileage of 78,961 miles over 10 years (roughly 7,896 miles annually) aligns with typical usage for this age. However, the frequency of tyre and brake-related issues implies potential overuse or inconsistent maintenance. While lower mileage might suggest periods of inactivity, the absence of major defects in 2023-12-08 complicates this assumption. The data does not confirm whether the vehicle has been heavily used or stored, so this remains ambiguous.
