2017 Porsche Macan 3.0L Petrol · KS05 ADS

A pattern of long-term roadworthiness punctuated by a single instance of significant brake wear defines this vehicle's recent inspection history. While the most recent test on 20 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, the 2025 inspection flagged advisories for all four brake pads being worn thin across the nearside and offside front and rear assemblies. This specific advisory indicates that the braking components were approaching the legal limit during the 2025 test, though the subsequent clean pass in 2026 suggests these components have since been replaced or serviced. The vehicle exhibits a low-mileage usage profile, having covered 31,921 miles over approximately nine years of operation. This averages to roughly 3,547 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the typical UK annual mileage for a vehicle of this class. Mechanically, such low annual accumulation can imply less frequent usage of drivetrain and suspension components, but it also means the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. This pattern requires particular attention to rubber components and seals that can perish or dry out when not regularly cycled through their full range of motion. Given the advisory history regarding brake pad thickness, a prospective buyer should verify the age and condition of the current braking system. During a test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or lack of firmness, and listen for any high-pitched squealing or grinding noises when applying pressure. Any vibration or judder felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel during deceleration could indicate unevenly worn or warped discs, which may have been installed following the 2025 advisories. Beyond the braking system, the low annual mileage necessitates a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside for signs of fluid weeping or corrosion on suspension linkages and bushings. While no specific defects have been recorded, the infrequent use of the vehicle means components like shock absorbers and control arm bushes may have aged through time rather than through wear. Listen for any dull knocks, clunks, or creaks when traversing uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as these are indicative of worn suspension components that may have been affected by the vehicle's specific usage pattern.
