2012 Porsche Panamera 3.0L Diesel · KAS 600Y

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failure in its most recent MOT test on 15 May 2026. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the maintenance trend has recently turned sharply negative. The transition from a minor oil leak in April 2025 to an excessive engine leak and a leaking suspension pipe at 77,045 miles indicates a significant mechanical degradation that requires immediate professional intervention before the vehicle can pass test again. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,045 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage often suggests lighter wear on drivetrain components, but it can also mask the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals. The data shows a consistent pattern of use between 2022 and 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 4,000 miles annually. However, the sudden appearance of major leaks in 2026 suggests that the vehicle is reaching a point where age-related failing outweighs the low total mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the engine bay to determine the source of the excessive oil leak, as high-pressure Porsche engines often suffer from seal failures that are costly to rectify. The reported suspension pipe leak is a critical concern that could indicate failure of the air suspension system, which is expensive if unaddressed. Given the 2025 advisories regarding worn tyres on the edges, the buyer should also check the alignment and suspension bushings to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in uneven wear or neglected rubber components.
