2013 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · LO03 COS

The most recent MOT test conducted on 1st May 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle appears to be in a stable and improving position. While the history shows intermittent advisories, such as the front lower oil leak and tyre wear in 2023, and pitted brake discs in 2020, the two most recent inspections in 2025 and 2026 have been entirely clean. This suggests that previous mechanical concerns have been rectified and that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The recorded mileage of 95,720 miles over approximately 13 years equates to an annual average of roughly 7,363 miles. This represents moderate, typical usage for a premium SUV, avoiding the excessive wear associated with high-mileage commercial or heavy-duty use. While this mileage profile is generally positive for the longevity of the drivetrain and interior, it is important to ensure the vehicle has not spent extended periods stationary, as this can lead to secondary issues such as battery degradation or seal drying. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the history of the front lower oil leak noted in 2023. During a physical inspection, examine the engine bay and the underside of the chassis for any fresh signs of oil weeping or residue around gaskets and seals. On the test drive, listen for any irregular engine sounds and check for any burning oil smells which could indicate an ongoing leak. Furthermore, since the 2023 advisory noted front tyres worn on the edges, inspect the current tyres for uneven wear patterns. Unevenness on the inner or outer edges can be a symptom of worn suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment, which may require immediate attention. Finally, despite the clean recent MOTs, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close inspection of perishable components. Check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking or perishing, which can occur even if tread depth is sufficient. Inspect the brake discs for any signs of corrosion or scoring and feel for any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal during deceleration, which would suggest warped discs or binding calipers. Given the mileage and age, you should also verify the service history to ensure that essential fluids, including brake fluid and coolant, have been changed according to manufacturer intervals rather than solely based on mileage.
