2012 Porsche Panamera 4.8L Petrol · LC62 DOA

The August 2025 MOT at 81,657 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle is currently roadworthy and that the maintenance record has remained stable since the previous test in June 2024. At 14 years old, the 81,657‑mile total translates to roughly 5,833 miles per year, a figure that is low for a car of this age and suggests periods of limited use or extended storage. Mileage increments are modest: from 69,665 miles in June 2023 to 76,335 miles in June 2024 (6,670 miles in one year) and from 76,335 miles to 81,657 miles in the subsequent 14 months (5,322 miles), indicating consistent but not rapid usage. Recurring issues such as the inoperative rear registration lamp, non‑functional rear wiper and washer, and repeated tyre defects – including exposed cords and wear close to the legal limit – point to neglect of peripheral systems and possible corrosion around the rear wheel arches. The 2023 test also flagged a near‑side front wiper that failed to clear the windscreen effectively, while the 2024 failure noted insufficient washer fluid, both of which may reflect inadequate routine cleaning and fluid top‑ups. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, verify the integrity of the brake discs and calipers for any binding or uneven wear, examine the rear wheel arches for rust that could compromise structural integrity, and assess the front wiper mechanism and washer system for proper operation. Detailed examination of tyre sidewalls for cord exposure and tread depth, as well as a review of the electrical wiring behind the registration lamp, will help confirm whether the documented faults have been rectified.
