2016 Porsche Cayman 2.0L Petrol · VO66 WVD

A pattern of recurring tyre-related advisories defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, though the most recent test on 27 January 2024 shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. While the 2024 result suggests the immediate issues have been addressed, the previous two testing cycles in 2023 and 2020 highlighted consistent concerns regarding tyre wear on the edges and sidewall perishing. This indicates that while the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness through passing each inspection, there has been a repetitive need to monitor and replace consumable rubber components due to wear patterns or age-related degradation. The recorded mileage of 38,601 miles over a ten-year period represents a low annual average of approximately 3,860 miles. This usage profile suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which can mean less mechanical wear on high-motion components like the engine, gearbox, and suspension bushings. However, the MOT history reveals a notable testing gap between February 2022 and October 2020, and the low annual mileage combined with the 2020 advisory regarding cracking and perishing tyres suggests periods where the vehicle may have been stationary for extended intervals. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and the underlying suspension geometry during a test drive. The repeated advisories for tyres being worn on the edges in 2020 and 2023 could be indicative of alignment issues or uneven loading. During a road test, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise that might suggest irregular tread wear, and check for any pulling to one side under braking or during straight-line driving, which would point toward camber or toe settings requiring adjustment. Given the history of perishing rubber, a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls for any signs of cracking is necessary, even if the tread depth appears sufficient. Furthermore, because low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods can experience uneven wear on suspension components, you should feel for any knocks or knocks over bumps that might indicate worn bushes or dampers. Ensure the steering feels precise and that there is no excessive play in the wheel if the vehicle has been subjected to the uneven wear patterns noted in the official DVSA records.
