2009 Porsche Cayman 2.9L Petrol · HJ09 LBL

This 2009 Porsche Cayman has covered approximately 90,300 miles, averaging roughly 5,300 miles per year. This is a relatively low annual usage rate for a vehicle of this age, which can sometimes lead to issues related to long periods of inactivity, such as seized components or perished rubber, rather than the high-mileage wear typically seen on the drivetrain. The MOT history shows a generally stable trend, with the vehicle passing consistently over the last few years. However, the most recent inspection in August 2025 flagged two notable advisory items: corrosion on both front Macpherson struts and an oil leak. While the tester noted these were not yet at a critical stage, they represent the beginning of age-related degradation that will require monitoring or replacement in the near future. Previous records from early 2024 highlighted wear on brake discs and tyre condition, suggesting that while the car is well-maintained, consumables are reaching their service limits. The recurring note regarding under-trays obscuring the underside is a common feature for this model, but it does mean that hidden leaks or structural corrosion could be masked from standard MOT inspections. The overall condition appears stable, but the transition from a clean record in 2024 to the advisory items in 2025 suggests the car is entering a phase where age-related maintenance will become more frequent. The low mileage does not necessarily guarantee a pristine mechanical state, as the oil leak and strut corrosion indicate that the car is not immune to the effects of time. Before purchasing, you should prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension struts for signs of flaking or structural rust.
