2023 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Hybrid electric · SW23 FZD

The 2023 Porsche Cayenne has a recent MOT record dated 2026-03-11, with the same date showing both a PASS and a FAIL. The FAIL relates to "Rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (1.2.1 (b) (i))" at 42,057 miles. This suggests a critical braking system issue that requires immediate attention. The PASS at 42,061 miles (just 4 miles later) indicates the defect was likely rectified, but the proximity of the two entries raises questions about the accuracy of the records or the timing of repairs. The vehicle’s mileage of 42,061 miles at 3 years old equates to roughly 14,020 miles per year, which is higher than average for its age. This could imply frequent use, potentially accelerating wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. However, the lack of other defects in the MOT history does not confirm a broader pattern of deterioration. The single failure highlights a specific risk to safety, particularly if the brake imbalance was not fully resolved. The trend in the MOT history is limited, with only one recorded failure. While the defect was addressed, the high mileage relative to the vehicle’s age suggests a higher likelihood of wear on consumables and mechanical parts.
