2014 Porsche Panamera 3.0L Diesel · VC13 JON

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-07 recorded front outer brake pads at 4mm depth, which is near the minimum legal limit but still within acceptable parameters for a pass. This suggests gradual wear but no immediate safety risk. However, the recurring pattern of tyre wear issues over multiple years raises concerns. Since 2022, the vehicle has consistently shown tyres worn close to the legal limit, particularly on front and rear tyres, with some measured at 3mm. This indicates persistent issues with tyre condition, possibly due to alignment, suspension wear, or under-inflation. The 2024 MOT also noted loose rear brake back plates, a structural concern that could affect braking performance if unresolved. The trend of tyre wear has remained stable rather than worsening, as the same types of defects reappear without escalation. However, the repeated need for tyre replacements or monitoring suggests ongoing maintenance demands. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,789 miles over 12 years equates to roughly 10,316 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This implies moderate use rather than excessive wear, though higher mileage could accelerate component degradation.
