Our Verdict
We recommend proceeding with caution, as
Check the full service history to confirm regular maintenance, especially for the diesel injection system and the air‑suspension components typical of the Cayenne. Verify that any major services, such as timing belt or chain replacement, have been carried out at the recommended intervals.
When negotiating price, use the clean MOT record and below‑average mileage as leverage, but factor in the vehicle's age and potential upcoming costs like a diesel particulate filter (DPF) service or replacement. Be aware that insurance groups for a 2016 Cayenne are high, so obtain quotes before finalising the purchase.
The Cayenne's 3.0‑litre diesel engine typically achieves around 35‑40 mpg, resulting in fuel costs of roughly £1,200‑£1,400 per year based on average UK mileage. Road tax for a diesel SUV of this size is currently £320 per annum, and insurance groups place it in the high‑cost bracket, often exceeding £800 annually.
Routine maintenance for a Porsche SUV can be higher than mainstream brands, with typical annual servicing and wear‑item replacement costing between £400 and £600. Combining fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance, an estimated total running cost is £1,200‑£1,500 per year.
Inspect the tyre condition carefully, even though the vehicle has no recorded tyre failures; look for uneven wear, sidewall damage, and verify that the tyre size matches the specifications for the 2016 Cayenne.
Examine the headlamps and exhaust system for signs of corrosion or leaks, as these are the top failure reasons for the model, even though none have appeared in the MOT history. Additionally, check the DPF and related emission components for clogging, especially given the vehicle's diesel engine and age.
The 2016 Porsche Cayenne diesel (registration RA55YAS) has logged 49,257 miles and passed five consecutive MOT tests with no recorded defects. Its average annual mileage of around 4,600 miles is below the model's average of 7,316 miles, indicating relatively low use. The MOT pass rate of 100% exceeds the model aggregate pass rate of 88%, and no common failure types such as tyre, headlamp or exhaust issues have been reported. However, the vehicle is over ten years old and its diesel powertrain may be subject to higher road tax and future low‑emission zone restrictions.
The Porsche Cayenne has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 88%, suggesting generally reliable performance, though common failures involve tyres, headlamps and exhausts.
