2005 Porsche Cayenne 4.5L Petrol · RX55 BPZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear and component neglect. While it passed the October 2025 test at 121,690 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at nearly identical mileage. The most recent record indicates deteriorating suspension components, with the offside front suspension arm bush progressing from excessively worn to a worn but acceptable state. The presence of a persistent oil leak dating back to July 2023 suggests a chronic sealing issue that the current owner has opted not to rectify. At 121,690 miles, this 21-year-old Porsche has covered a low average of approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage suggests infrequent operation, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical fatigue. Between September 2024 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 7,338 miles, representing a slight spike in its annual average. The recurring failures for perishing tyres and wipers across multiple years indicate that the vehicle has likely sat for long periods or basic maintenance was overlooked between service intervals. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension assembly, as the repeated reports of worn bushes and pins indicate the geometry is nearing its end. The documented oil leak requires a close look at the engine bay to determine if it is a minor valve cover leak or a more significant failure of the rear main seal. Furthermore, the history of cracking and perishing sidewalls suggests the tyres may be aged-out regardless of remaining tread depth. Pay particular attention to the offside rear tyre, which was noted near the legal limit in the most recent test, posing a risk of immediate replacement costs.
