2016 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · RF65 UVB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 2 March 2026 at 81,045 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The initial failure on that same day resulted from poor visibility caused by defective front windscreen wipers and a nearside front tyre with tread below the legal 1.0mm limit. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the failure indicates that basic consumable items were only addressed once they triggered a formal test failure. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year over its ten-year life. This suggests moderate-to-distance use. There is a notable gap in the records between September 2022 at 60,671 miles and May 2024 at 74,403 miles, during which the car covered nearly 14,000 miles. The more recent interval of roughly 6,600 miles between the 2024 and 2026 tests reflects a return to the established annual usage pattern. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and alignment, as the 2024 advisory noted rear tyres were worn to the edge on both sides. This pattern often points to incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes which are common on heavy SUVs like this Cayenne. Given the recent failure for wipers and tyres, a thorough physical check of all rubber components and blade assemblies is necessary to ensure no other deferred maintenance items exist. The absence of structural corrosion or brake defects in the history is positive, but the recurring tyre-related issues suggest the owner may overlook components until they become critical.
