2015 Porsche Panamera 4.8L Petrol · GA11 ATA

The Porsche Panamera’s most recent MOT, passed on 4 November 2025 at 94,676 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The absence of defects in that test suggests no immediate failures in critical systems, though the prior history reveals a pattern of minor but recurring issues. The near-side rear hydraulic leak in October 2023—classified as non-excessive—indicates a persistent, albeit managed, concern with the PDCC system, while the 2021 tyre tread warnings signal neglect in basic upkeep. The trend is stable rather than worsening, but the repeated advisories imply the vehicle has not undergone comprehensive servicing or component replacements. The 2024 test’s obstruction by undertrays and covers further raises questions about accessibility for thorough inspections. Mileage progression suggests typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,600 miles annually. There are no extreme gaps or spikes in service intervals, though the 2021–2022 period shows a slower accumulation (6,992 miles over 13 months), which could indicate reduced usage or seasonal storage. The most recent 14,884 miles between October 2024 and November 2025 aligns with standard wear expectations, though the lack of intermediate servicing means wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers could be advancing without intervention. The absence of a pre-MOT service record in 2025 is notable, as Porsche vehicles of this era often require precise fluid changes and component checks at higher mileages. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the PDCC system, particularly the near-side rear hydraulic components, to confirm the leak has been addressed and fluid levels remain stable. The 2021 tyre tread advisories warrant immediate replacement, as edge wear on both front tyres suggests alignment or load-bearing issues that may have persisted. Suspension integrity should be scrutinised, with a focus on worn or degraded bushes and coil springs—common in high-mileage Panameras—while brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion around wheel arches, subframes, and underbody panels, though not yet recorded, is a risk given the vehicle’s age and exposure history. The fitted undertrays and covers from 2024 obscure critical areas; their removal would allow verification of structural soundness and hidden corrosion.
