2015 Porsche Cayman 3.8L Petrol · GT04 WHY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor decline in maintenance standards. After three years of clean records between 2023 and 2025, the March 2026 test at 38,808 miles failed initially due to insufficient washer fluid and slight play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While the car passed upon immediate retest, the appearance of these faults suggests that minor preventative maintenance was neglected until the testing deadline. The mileage profile shows exceptionally low usage for an eleven-year-old Porsche, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 26,870 miles and March 2026 at 38,808 miles, the vehicle covered 11,938 miles. This low rate of travel typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but it also increases the risk of rubber degradation, dry seals, and fluid breakdown if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage to ensure the ball joint has been replaced, as this was a recently flagged point of failure. The damaged windscreen also requires monitoring to ensure the cracks do not propagate and compromise structural integrity or visibility. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs and calipers is essential to check for rust or pitting, as underused vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion and seized calipers that high-mileage cars avoid.
