2010 Porsche Cayman 3.4L Petrol · LF10 OFB

The 2010 Porsche Cayman presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 7 July 2025 at 157,269 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past four years is clearly improving. A sub-test failure on 30 July 2024 at 151,578 miles flagged three minor advisories, including a worn nearside front tyre and headlamps aimed too high on both sides. All three were rectified before the same-day retest passed cleanly. The 2023 and 2022 tests, covering 142,227 and 125,692 miles respectively, also passed without any advisories, confirming a consistent pattern of well-kept mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a 16-year-old Cayman, averaging roughly 9,829 miles per year. The intervals between tests show steady, predictable use. The jump from 125,692 miles in June 2022 to 142,227 miles by July 2023 represents approximately 16,535 miles in just over twelve months, indicating a period of more active driving. The subsequent rise to 151,578 miles by July 2024 and 157,269 miles by July 2025 shows a return to a more moderate pace, averaging around 5,700 to 6,900 miles annually. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden drops that would suggest long-term storage or odometer irregularities. Despite the clean recent record, the 2024 failure flags a practical point for any in-person inspection. The nearside front tyre worn to 2mm on the inner edge suggests possible alignment or suspension geometry wear, so a buyer should check the condition of all four tyres and verify tracking settings. The headlamp aim advisories on both sides were resolved, but confirming that the self-levelling system and adjusters function correctly remains worthwhile on a car of this age. With 157,269 miles on the clock, a thorough underside inspection is advisable, focusing on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and any signs of corrosion to the floor pan or subframes. The Cayman's mid-engine layout places additional thermal and mechanical stress on rear components, making the rear suspension, exhaust system, and exhaust emissions hardware particularly worth scrutinising before purchase.
