2018 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Petrol · LM18 CWK

The 2018 Porsche Cayenne presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass on 22 May 2026 at 84,591 miles with zero defects recorded. This is the first fully advisory-free result in the five-test history, suggesting the previous owner addressed earlier minor faults promptly. The trajectory from flagged items in 2023 and 2024 to consecutive clean passes in 2025 and 2026 indicates attentive upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eight-year-old Cayenne. Annual averages sit around 10,500 miles, with the largest single-year jump of 13,554 miles occurring between the May 2022 test at 35,600 miles and the May 2023 test at 51,283 miles. Subsequent years settled into a steadier rhythm of roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles annually. No suspicious gaps or sudden drops appear in the record, and the odometer progression reads as genuine and linear. The advisory history is sparse and minor in nature. The 2024 test at 64,837 miles flagged a slightly damaged nearside rear outer tyre sidewall, a consumable item likely replaced shortly after. The 2023 test at 51,283 miles noted rear brake pads wearing thin, another routine wear item. Neither defect points to systemic mechanical failure or structural corrosion. No recurring faults appear across multiple tests, and no suspension, steering, or exhaust emissions concerns have surfaced at any point. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on the areas the MOT record cannot fully verify. Check the underside for corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, as Porsche Cayennes of this era can develop corrosion in these areas depending on climate and road treatment. Inspect rear calipers and discs for uneven wear given the 2023 pad advisory, and verify the condition of all four tyre sidewalls for cuts or bulges. A test drive over varied surfaces will reveal any developing suspension bush wear or drivetrain vibration that a static MOT inspection would not capture. The clean paper record is encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection by a Porsche specialist remains the prudent course.
