2017 Porsche Panamera 2.9L Petrol · SO17 OBZ

The Porsche Panamera presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 17 October 2025 at 42,996 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a strong result for a nine-year-old performance saloon. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures, and the most recent test confirms the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness standards at the time of inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 4,777 miles per year over nine years. The annual tests from 2022 through 2025 show steady but modest accumulation, from 24,427 miles in February 2022 to 42,996 miles in October 2025, a gain of approximately 18,569 miles across nearly four years. The gap between the February 2025 test at 38,938 miles and the October 2025 test at 42,996 miles represents 4,058 miles in eight months, which is slightly higher than the long-term average but still modest overall. No anomalous jumps or suspicious plateaus appear in the data. The 2023 advisory regarding a cut to the offside front tyre tread, not deep enough to expose ply or cords, was a minor consumable issue and has not recurred. The 2022 child seat obstructions preventing full adult belt inspection are a common MOT limitation note rather than a defect, and subsequent tests show no belt-related concerns. With no structural corrosion, suspension, braking, or emissions faults appearing across five consecutive tests, the mechanical record is reassuring. A buyer should still inspect the underside for stone chips and corrosion given the low annual mileage, which can mean the car has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre age and sidewall condition deserve close attention, as low-mileage vehicles often need replacement due to perishing rather than wear. The front brake discs and calipers should be examined for surface corrosion from light use, a common trait on infrequently driven performance cars.
