2012 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · SM12 AEV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 117,463 miles resulted in no defects, following a technical failure just two days prior at 117,461 miles. This immediate pass suggests a minor, easily rectified issue, such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault, which was addressed instantly before the re-test. Since November 2022, the Cayenne has maintained a clean record without recorded advisories or failures, indicating a level of consistent mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old luxury SUV, averaging out approximately 8,400 miles per annum. Between October 2023 (88,850 miles) and February 2025 (109,124 miles), the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in 16 months, showing a period of higher use. The interval between the February 2025 and March 2026 tests saw an accumulation of roughly 8,339 miles. This regular mileage suggests the vehicle does not suffer from the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity, which can perish rubber components and seals. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on high-wear components common to this model at this age and mileage. Inspect the air suspension system and control arm bushings for perished rubber, as these are frequent failure points beyond 100,000 miles. Check the brake discs for signs of thinning or uneven wear, as the MOT record does not explicitly flag binding calipers. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the chassis for corrosion around structural mounting points and exhaust hangers, despite the lack of structural advisories to date.
