Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to higher-than-
Focus heavily on the service history to ensure the high mileage has been matched by rigorous maintenance. You should check for evidence of suspension refreshes, as the 2024 and 2026 records indicate wear on trailing arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the immediate need for tyre replacements and the odometer reading, which is significantly higher than typical examples of this model. Ensure that any recent MOT failures, such as the anti-roll bar linkage dust covers from May 2026, have been professionally rectified.
Fuel economy for the 3.4L engine is typical for a performance petrol, meaning fuel will be a significant monthly expense. Insurance groups for the Cayman are generally high, and annual tax will be based on the 2014 emissions bracket.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific car due to its mileage. Expect to budget for premium tyre replacements and the eventual replacement of suspension components, which are already showing wear in the MOT history.
Closely examine all four tyres; the MOT history shows repeated issues with cuts, nails, and perishing from 2023 through to 2026. Specifically, check the offside front and nearside rear tyres mentioned in the May 2026 test.
Inspect the front anti-roll bar linkage dust covers and the rear suspension arm bushes, as these were flagged for wear in 2024 and 2026. Additionally, check the windscreen wipers for smearing, as noted in the most recent MOT record.
This 2014 black Porsche Cayman has covered 90,888 miles, which is substantially above the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history reveals a pattern of tyre-related failures and recent advisories regarding suspension bushes and anti-roll bar linkage covers. It is a more heavily used example of the 3.4L petrol variant.
The Cayman has a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 91.6%, with tyres being one of the most common failure points across the model range.
