Our Verdict
This 2016 Porsche Cayenne diesel is a reasonable buy for someone wanting a large, well-documented SUV, but budget for imminent suspension and windscreen work. The clean MOT record apart from minor 2026 advisories suggests fair care, though the 4.1-litre diesel is not cheap to run.
Use the May 2026 advisories on near and offside front suspension arm bushes and the offside windscreen chip as negotiation points — these are visible wear items on a 126k-mile car and could cost several hundred pounds to rectify at a Porsche specialist. Confirm with the seller whether the windscreen damage has been repaired or worsened since the test, as it was recorded as not affecting the driver's view but may spread. Request full service history, especially for the 4,134cc diesel engine and DPF system, since the 2024 MOT noted 'accelrate not detected emmission clean' which suggests emissions were monitored closely at 90,886 miles.
As a 2016 diesel SUV with a 4.1-litre engine, this Cayenne will sit in a high VED band and likely a high insurance group, with poor urban fuel economy despite motorway efficiency. Maintenance at Porsche rates is expensive; even routine items like brakes and tyres cost significantly more than mainstream brands. Based on mileage and engine size, estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical servicing fall in the region of £2,500-£3,500.
The May 2026 MOT specifically noted worn but not excessive rear bushes on both front suspension arms — inspect for play or cracking and plan replacement soon. Check the offside front windscreen damage cited in the same test for any extension of the chip or risk to the heated element and sensors. With 126,848 miles on the clock, examine the diesel engine for oil leaks, turbo condition and DPF function, and verify the 2024 emissions note reflects a healthy system rather than a masked fault.
The Cayenne (LA16AEJ) has covered 126,848 miles as of its May 2026 MOT, with four previous passes showing no defects and one 2024 pass noting a clean emissions reading. The latest test flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and a damaged offside windscreen, both minor but worth addressing. No MOT failures appear in the history, which is a positive sign for a 10-year-old diesel SUV of this size and engine capacity.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Porsche Cayenne, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of LA16AEJ.
