2007 Porsche Cayman 2.7L Petrol · RJ07 FDJ

The 2007 Porsche Cayman passed its latest MOT on 7 December 2021 at 100,755 miles, yet the record reveals a persistent pattern of brake pipe corrosion and strut degradation rather than improvement. Repeated failures on the same components across 2017‑2021 indicate a worsening or at least unresolved mechanical issue. With 19 years of service and just over 100,000 recorded miles, the vehicle averages roughly 5,300 miles per year, a figure that remains low for its age. The mileage shows a clear acceleration in the two years preceding the 2021 test, rising from 85,393 miles in May 2018 to 100,755 miles by December 2021, suggesting increased usage or reduced standing periods. Earlier intervals between 2013 and 2018 display relatively steady increments, while the 2016‑2017 jump of about 6,500 miles in a single year stands out as a notable gap. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the brake pipes, especially where they attach to the calipers, for signs of grease‑covered corrosion that the MOTs repeatedly flagged. The front and rear Macpherson strut mounts, noted as corroded but not seriously weakened, merit close visual examination for rust penetration. Suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers should be checked for binding or excessive play, and the brake discs, which have shown pitting or scoring since 2014, require measurement of thickness and assessment of surface condition. All lamps, including position, headlamp and fog lights, must be tested for functionality, and the windscreen damage recorded since 2016 should be verified as non‑obstructive. Overall, the car’s low mileage suggests lighter use, but the recurring brake and suspension faults point to potential neglect of critical safety systems, making a thorough in‑person inspection essential before purchase.
