2018 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · V1 SUR

The most recent MOT from December 2025 passed, but it flagged a severely deteriorated dust cover on the nearside front lower suspension arm. A clear pattern of suspension and brake neglect is evident. In early 2024, the vehicle failed significantly due to worn-out brake pads and discs across all four wheels, alongside tyre damage and a failing suspension ball joint dust cover. While the brakes were addressed, the suspension dust covers have remained a recurring issue, with failures or advisories appearing on both the offside and nearside over the last two years. The condition trend appears stable but mediocre, as the owner seems to address faults only when they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage of 75,139 is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, suggesting regular use. This means normal wear on the drivetrain and suspension is expected, but the history of letting brakes wear down to less than 1.5mm suggests a reactive approach to maintenance. A buyer should first inspect the front suspension components for play or perished boots and check the current thickness of the brake pads and discs to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life again.
