2018 Porsche Macan 2.0L Petrol · T24 DXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding tyres and alignment. The most recent test in November 2025 at 42,993 miles flagged both front tyres as being worn to the legal limit with significant inner edge wear. This follows issues from November 2024 at 35,205 miles, where the tester noted a damaged nearside front tyre, a nail in the rear, and worn rear tyres. While the vehicle continues to pass, the recurring tyre-related defects suggest a lack of attention to consumable maintenance. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,374 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between February 2022 at 13,743 miles and March 2023 at 23,832 miles, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has slowed again, adding roughly 7,000 miles annually thereafter. This low-mileage pattern can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and brake seals, which is consistent with the perishing noted on the nearside front tyre in 2024. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment. The persistent inner-edge wear on the front tyres indicates an incorrect camber setting or worn control arm bushes that require professional rectification. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for sidewall cracking on tyres and ensure the brake discs are not pitted from periods of inactivity. The history shows no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures, suggesting the primary risks remain related to neglected consumables and potential suspension wear.
