2011 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LG11 LPC

Recurring electronic control‑module failures and a brake‑fluid leak dominate this Cayenne’s MOT record, with the most recent test in July 2026 finally returning a pass after a string of major defects in the preceding years. The 2026‑07‑06 failure listed an inoperative engine MIL, ABS warning, ESC fault and electronic parking‑brake malfunction, while 2025‑06‑23 highlighted a leaking front hydraulic brake caliper that prevented brake performance testing, and 2024‑07‑03 recorded dangerous tyre damage and a near‑limit rear tyre. The pattern shows intermittent electronic and braking issues rather than a steady improvement, although the latest pass indicates those specific faults have been addressed or are currently dormant. At 124,571 mi the vehicle averages roughly 8,300 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a fifteen‑year‑old Porsche. The MOT history shows no prolonged gaps in testing, suggesting the odometer reading reflects regular annual inspections rather than periods of storage. Mechanically, this mileage level implies that consumables such as brake pads, discs, suspension bushes and drivetrain components will be approaching the latter stages of their service lives and should be examined for wear consistent with a vehicle of this age and distance. Potential buyers should verify that all electronic warning lights – engine MIL, ABS, ESC and electronic parking‑brake – remain extinguished after the vehicle is started and after a short drive. A diagnostic scan for fault codes is advisable to confirm that the underlying issues have been resolved rather than merely masked. During a road‑test, listen for intermittent electronic chatter, feel for any loss of traction control intervention, and note whether the electronic parking‑brake engages and releases smoothly; any lingering warning illumination or erratic behaviour may indicate unresolved sensor, wiring or control‑module problems that could re‑trigger a failure. The brake system warrants close inspection. Examine the front calipers for signs of fluid seepage, verify that the brake pedal feels firm and does not sink under sustained pressure, and test the ABS function by applying firm braking on a low‑grip surface. Tyre condition should be confirmed visually and with a tread‑depth gauge, ensuring no cuts reaching the ply, no sidewall damage, and tread depths above the 1.6 mm legal minimum on all four wheels. Uneven wear, vibration, or pulling to one side may point to lingering suspension or brake‑line issues that were previously flagged and should be addressed before the next MOT.
