Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-performance SUV with a consistent MOT record. The vehicle's history shows a clean run of passes without recorded defects since its first test.
When inspecting this 2.9L petrol Macan, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as MOTs do not assess mechanical health or fluid changes. Given the mileage has reached 62,136, check for any evidence of recent major service items, such as spark plugs or brake fluid changes, which are common for this engine size and age.
Negotiate based on the documented mileage and the specific service intervals. While the MOT history is free of defects, you should still inspect the tyre tread and wiper condition, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model type across the wider dataset.
Running a 2997cc petrol Porsche Macan involves significant considerations. Expect higher-than-average fuel consumption due to the large engine displacement and performance tuning. Insurance groups for this model are typically high, reflecting its performance status and parts cost.
Maintenance costs for a luxury SUV of this calibre can be substantial. While the MOT history shows no immediate failures, typical maintenance for this model includes high-performance tyres and brake components. An estimated annual running cost would cover fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Despite the absence of defects in the recent MOT history, you should pay close attention to the tyres and headlamps. According to aggregate data for this model, these are the most common reasons for MOT failures. Ensure the tyres have even wear and no sidewall damage.
Additionally, check the windscreen wipers and the condition of the glass. Since the most recent MOT at 62,136 miles recorded no defects, the vehicle appears to have met all regulatory standards recently, but a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components is always recommended for a vehicle of this weight and power.
This 2018 Porsche Macan, finished in Grey, has covered 62,136 miles since its registration in April 2018. The MOT history is notable for having no recorded defects across five consecutive tests, spanning from 18,713 miles in 2022 to the most recent test in January 2026. While the mileage is increasing, the lack of failures provides a clear record of its compliance with MOT standards.
The Porsche Macan shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 92.4% across nearly 38,000 analysed vehicles.
