2007 Porsche Cayman 2.7L Petrol · LE07 FWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 2026-04-07 at 85,335 miles, though the test revealed persistent corrosion on both rear brake pipes, each covered in grease or foreign material—a condition that caused failure in the prior test. This recurring issue indicates an ongoing maintenance concern, likely stemming from inadequate protection against moisture and road debris, which could compromise braking safety if left unaddressed. The headlamp aim problems have also reappeared, suggesting either misalignment during repairs or continued mechanical wear in the headlamp mounting systems. While the most recent test passed, the repetition of these faults signals a deteriorating trend rather than improvement. The recorded mileage of 85,335 miles over 19 years equates to an average of just under 4,500 miles per year, indicating exceptionally low usage for a car of this age. This pattern is consistent across the history: from 77,335 miles in April 2024 to 81,585 miles in April 2025 (a gain of 4,250 miles), then to 85,335 miles by April 2026 (a gain of 3,750 miles). The steady, slow accumulation suggests infrequent use, possibly with long periods of storage or seasonal operation. This low-mileage profile may have preserved some components but has not prevented corrosion in critical areas like the brake lines, highlighting that mileage alone does not guarantee mechanical integrity. A buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the rear brake piping, particularly where the corrosion was noted—checking for thinning, pitting, or leaks that may not be visible during a standard visual check. The repeated headlamp aim issues point to potential damage in the front suspension or headlamp housings, requiring physical verification of alignment and structural soundness. Additionally, all four tyres have shown signs of cracking or perishing since 2024, with the offside front and rear tyres consistently flagged; these should be replaced immediately due to the risk of sudden failure. The presence of grease on brake pipes raises concerns about improper servicing or contamination, warranting a full brake system flush and inspection of calipers and master cylinder for binding or leakage.
