2018 Porsche Macan 2.0L Petrol · LD18 YOP

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 16,916 miles. The history shows a consistent pattern of passes without mechanical failures over the last five years, though a recurring advisory regarding an offside rear child seat preventing a full inspection of the adult seat belt persists. This restriction suggests a lack of thorough testing preparation rather than a mechanical fault with the vehicle itself. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,114 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 6,804 miles and November 2024 at 13,744 miles, the car covered only over 7,000 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber components. The 2024 test noted that all four tyres were wearing low, which is a common result of age-related rubber hardening despite low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and rubber bushings, as low-use vehicles often suffer from flat spotting and dry cracking before the tread depth is exhausted. The braking system should be checked for corrosion on the discs, as vehicles that sit for long periods tend to develop surface rust. Additionally, the offside rear child seat must be removed to ensure the underlying adult seat belt is functional and undamaged, as the tester has been unable to verify this component for four consecutive years.
