2009 Porsche Cayenne 4.8L Petrol · SH59 OUO

The most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-11-07, was passed with several defects noted. These included slight play in both front upper suspension arm ball joints, slight deterioration in both front brake hoses, and corrosion on both rear lower suspension arms. The central prop shaft bearing also showed slight play in its rubber mount. These issues suggest progressive wear in key suspension and braking components. A recurring pattern of wear is evident, particularly in the suspension and braking systems. The 2022 MOT noted an oil leak and tyre issues, while the 2020 MOT highlighted worn rear tyres and a faulty registration plate lamp. The 2021 and 2019 MOTs were clear, but the 2020 MOT marks the beginning of more visible mechanical concerns. The vehicle has covered 111,615 miles in 17 years, averaging around 6,566 miles per year. This is typical for its age and suggests consistent use without evidence of long-term under-use or neglect. However, the increasing frequency of suspension and brake-related defects indicates that the car may be entering a phase of higher maintenance need.
