2022 Porsche Macan 2.9L Petrol · MJ22 VHD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards developing mechanical wear. While the car passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 37,996 miles, the tester identified a specific defect regarding the front lower suspension. The record notes worn front lower suspension arm pins or bushes causing deflection movement under braking, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their optimal life and require immediate attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a luxury SUV, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 33,260 miles and the March 2026 test at 37,996 miles, the vehicle covered 4,736 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent rubber component perishation and seal-related issues. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to address the advisory flagged in the 2026 test. The movement detected in the arms during braking can lead to unpredictable steering handling and premature tyre wear if left unaddressed. Because the nearside rear child seat obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt during the last MOT, the buyer should manually verify the integrity of that specific webbing to ensure no hidden fraying or damage was missed by the tester.
