Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the MOT advisories from February 2026, ensure the front tyres—specifically the near-side front inner edge and off-side front—have been replaced or addressed. As this is a high-performance vehicle, verify that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to in the provided documentation.
Negotiate based on the cost of replacing high-performance tyres, which are a common expense for this model. Verify that all electronic systems are functioning correctly, as high-specification Porsches often have complex electrical requirements.
The 2894cc petrol engine places this vehicle in a higher tax bracket and insurance group. Fuel economy will be reflective of its performance nature, likely resulting in a higher monthly spend than a standard SUV.
Maintenance costs for Porsche vehicles are typically higher than average due to specialised parts and labour rates. Expect annual running costs to be significant, covering premium fuel, insurance, and scheduled servicing.
Pay close attention to the front tyres; the MOT history explicitly noted low tread on the OSF and inner edge wear on the NSF, which may indicate an alignment issue. Check the headlamps and drive shaft joints, as these are listed as top failure reasons across the wider Macan dataset.
Inspect the brake pads and discs for wear consistent with 30,000 miles. Ensure there are no warning lights on the dashboard related to the Euro 6AP emissions system or drivetrain.
This grey 2023 Porsche Macan has covered 30,071 miles as of its February 2026 MOT. It features a 2.9L petrol engine and has passed its first MOT test, though with specific advisories regarding front tyre wear. Compared to the model average, this vehicle has been used more extensively than typical Macans.
The Macan has a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 92.3%, though tyre wear is a frequent point of failure.
