2016 Porsche Cayman 2.5L Petrol · T70 VCH

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clear trend of resolving minor issues. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 36,638 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful inspection in September 2024 at 34,500 miles, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard in recent years. The absence of advisories in the last two consecutive tests indicates that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed effectively. The mileage pattern reflects very light usage for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,664 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, accumulation of distance. Between October 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 1,943 miles, while the period between September 2024 and August 2025 saw an increase of 2,138 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle spends significant time stationary, which can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components regardless of physical wear. The MOT history highlights specific areas that require physical verification during a pre-purchase inspection. In November 2021 at 29,886 miles, the tester flagged cracking or perishing on both front tyres, a common symptom of low-use vehicles where rubber dries out from age. A failure in December 2022 at 32,626 miles involved non-conforming registration plates and thin rear brake pads. While the brake pads were subsequently replaced to secure a pass, a buyer should inspect the remaining braking components, including discs and calipers, to ensure no uneven wear or binding has occurred due to the vehicle's intermittent use. Given the low mileage and the clean recent history, the primary focus should remain on age-related consumables. Inspect the condition of all suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and rubber seals to ensure they have not perished from long periods of standing. Checking the service history for oil changes is also advisable, as low-mileage engines can suffer from moisture buildup if intervals are based solely on distance rather than time.
