2016 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · OO15 ABA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical attention and lubrication. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 73,660 miles passed, the tester identified uneven wear on the brake pads and an oil spill. These issues follow a pattern of deferred maintenance seen in 2024 when low tyre treads and squeaky brakes were noted, suggesting the previous owner only addresses faults as they manifest rather than performing preventative care. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use luxury vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year over its ten-year life. There is a notable gap in records between October 2021 and December 2022, during which the car covered 7,000 miles. Since the 2022 test, the vehicle has accumulated 17,500 miles, showing a steady but moderate usage. This low annual mileage is generally positive for the drivetrain but can cause rubber-based components and seals to dry out if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the engine bay to determine the source of the oil spill flagged in 2025 and 2026. Uneven brake pad wear often indicates sticking caliper pistons or seized slide pins, which requires professional investigation to prevent premature rotor failure. The recurring mention of uneven tyre wear in 2024 also warrants a check of the suspension geometry and control arm bushings for tearing. Given the age of the Porsche, the buyer should also look for fluid leaks from the power steering or timing covers that may not yet reached a level sufficient to trigger an MOT failure.
