2019 Porsche Cayenne 2.9L Petrol · KV19 FVL

This 2019 Porsche Cayenne shows a very low annual mileage of approximately 5,000 miles per year. While this suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-mileage motorway commuting, the recent MOT history indicates a sudden and concerning shift in maintenance standards. Up until early 2025, the vehicle maintained a clean record with no recorded defects. However, the most recent inspection in May 2026 revealed significant safety failures. The car failed its initial test due to a structural bulge in the nearside rear tyre and a deep cut reaching the ply on the offside front tyre. These are serious defects that suggest the vehicle has either hit significant road hazards, such as deep potholes or kerbs, or has been left standing for extended periods where tyre rubber has degraded or deformed. The transition from a clean history to multiple tyre-related failures in a single year indicates a worsening trend in the vehicle's condition. While the car passed its retest, the presence of a remaining cut on the offside rear tyre suggests that maintenance may be reactive rather than proactive. Given the low mileage, you should be wary of "garage rot," where components like rubber bushes, seals, and suspension mounts deteriorate due to lack of movement rather than wear. The tyre damage is the primary red flag here, as it points to potential impact damage that could have affected the wheel alignment or suspension geometry.
