2013 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · LM13 PPU

The most recent MOT (25 July 2025) was a clean pass at 121,183 mi, but the day before the car failed because the parking‑brake efficiency was below the required level. That single failure is the only recent safety‑related defect recorded. A clear pattern emerges around the braking system: in late 2023 the off‑side front brake hose was judged “excessively deteriorated” and the near‑side rear hose was “excessively twisted”. Both items were listed as failures on 24 Oct 2023. No brake‑hose failures appear in the 2024 or 2025 tests, suggesting the problem may have been remedied, but the earlier issue flags a potential weak point that should be inspected again. Tyre wear was highlighted in the 2024‑11‑18 pass – both front tyres were “worn close to the legal limit”. The tyres have not been mentioned again, so the condition may have improved or simply not been re‑tested. Front‑seat‑belt buckles and a rear reflector were also noted as slightly damaged in 2023 but have not resurfaced. Overall the MOT trend is moving from multiple failures in 2023 to clean passes in 2024 and 2025, indicating an improving condition, though the parking‑brake failure in July 2025 shows a new, isolated issue. Mileage of 121,183 mi on a 13‑year‑old Porsche Cayenne works out to about 9,300 mi per year – roughly average for a vehicle of this age.
