2016 Porsche Cayenne 4.8L Petrol · V8 UJR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent inspection history indicates a concerning decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 57,737 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior at 57,714 miles. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple mechanical and emission failures in mid-2025 suggests a shift toward reactive maintenance, where faults are only addressed once they fail inspection rather than through preventative servicing. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,774 miles per year. There is a distinct gap between October 2022 and January 2024 where the car covered only 3,422 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 6,597 miles in the eighteen months leading up to the July 2025 failure. This pattern of low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and the stagnation of fluids, which may align with the mechanical securing issues noted in the 2025 records. A physical inspection must focus on the front-end assembly and the braking system. The July 2025 failure flagged an insecure AC condenser, oil cooler, and a power steering hose fouling the anti-roll bar; these areas require verification to ensure all clips and mounts are properly secured to prevent fluid leaks or mechanical interference. Additionally, the recurring mention of thin rear brake pads and pitted discs in both the 2025 tests indicates the rear braking system is nearing the end of its functional life. The buyer should confirm that these components were actually replaced following the August pass rather than merely noted.
