2011 Porsche Cayenne V8 Turbo TIP S 4.8L Petrol · KN61 PBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding braking components and structural integrity. The most recent test in February 2026 at 109,961 miles resulted in a failure due to a high headlamp aim, though the vehicle passed despite recurring mechanical issues from previous years. The persistence of binding brakes on both the offside front and offside rear calipers across the last three testing cycles indicates that these mechanical faults are being managed with minimum repairs rather than root-cause rectification. At 109,961 miles, this Porsche Cayenne averages approximately 7,300 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK road usage for a luxury SUV of this age. The record shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the March 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,700 miles leading into early 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is not sat for long periods, though it places a constant demand on the complex V8 drivetrain and suspension system. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame, as it has been flagged for corrosion since at least March 2025. While the tester noted it was not yet seriously weakened, corrosion on structural members of this age often accelerates and requires expensive replacement if ignored. The recurring corroded brake pipes, noted as covered in grease, suggest an attempt to mask surface rust or a lack of preventative maintenance on fluid lines. The buyer should also verify the exhaust system for the leak noted in 2025 and ensure that the binding calipers have not caused excessive heat damage to the rotors and seals.
