2021 Porsche Cayman 2.0L Petrol · RO71 XCB

The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a previous pass in November 2024 which included an advisory noting that engine covers and undertrays were fitted, preventing a full inspection of certain under-vehicle components. While the previous advisory highlights a limitation in the depth of the inspection at that time, the subsequent clean pass suggests a stable maintenance trend and indicates that no immediate structural or safety-critical failures were identified during the most recent assessment. The vehicle has covered 13,607 miles over approximately five years, which equates to an annual average of roughly 2,721 miles. This is considered very low mileage for a vehicle of this age. While this low usage implies minimal wear on the engine, transmission, and mechanical drivetrain, it also indicates that the car has likely spent significant periods stationary. In high-performance vehicles, infrequent usage can lead to different types of degradation compared to high-mileage examples, specifically relating to the age of consumables and the effects of standing rather than the mechanical wear of frequent operation. A prospective buyer should be mindful of the implications of low-usage profiles. Firstly, inspect the tyres thoroughly for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, as rubber compounds degrade due to age and environmental exposure even if the tread depth remains high. You should also check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting, which is common when a vehicle is not driven regularly, and listen for any binding or uneven braking during the test drive. Given the previous advisory regarding undertrays, a visual inspection of the underside for any signs of fluid leaks or weeping from seals is recommended, as these may have been obscured during previous inspections. Finally, verify the service history to confirm that all fluids, including engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant, have been changed according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than solely on mileage. Low-usage vehicles are also susceptible to 12V battery degradation; check for any signs of a weak battery or electrical gremlins. During the test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks that might suggest that rubber bushes or mounting components have hardened or perished from lack of movement. Ensuring the vehicle has been properly warmed up before any heavy acceleration is vital to confirm that all lubrication is circulating correctly after periods of inactivity.
