2012 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · LO62 OLM

A trend of clean roadworthiness has emerged in recent years, culminating in a defect-free pass on 17 October 2025. While the record shows a period of recurring brake wear and a major suspension failure involving a fractured offside rear coil spring in October 2024, the most recent two tests indicate a stable mechanical state with no current advisories. The recorded mileage of 101,375 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,241 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of stagnation, meaning that rubber components and seals have likely remained active, though it also implies that high-wear consumables such as suspension bushings and braking components have reached natural replacement intervals. Attention should be paid to the braking system, as records from 2020 through 2022 repeatedly flagged thinning pads and pitted or scored front discs. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or uneven braking force that could indicate the condition of the discs. Ensure the brake pedal response is firm and devoid of excessive travel, which would confirm that the previous wear issues were fully addressed. The 2024 failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring necessitates a check of the vehicle's stance and ride quality. Listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as this can signal further degradation of the suspension linkages or the remaining springs. Additionally, verify that the engine under tray and cover are securely fitted, as these were noted as hindering full inspections in previous tests.
