2009 Porsche Cayenne 3.0L Diesel · WR09 OTF

The 2009 Porsche Cayenne presents in a sound roadworthiness state as of its most recent MOT on 18 January 2026 at 133,134 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend over the past three years is clearly improving. A cluster of serious suspension and emissions faults recorded in January 2025 has since been fully rectified, and the subsequent two consecutive clean passes indicate those repairs have held. There are no active advisories or recurring defects on file. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,800 miles per year, which is typical for a Cayenne of this age. The record shows a steady progression from 123,790 miles in January 2023 to 133,134 miles in January 2026, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in usage. The vehicle appears to have been driven consistently rather than left standing for extended periods, which is favourable for keeping seals, bushes, and drivetrain components exercised rather than perished through disuse. The January 2025 failure at 131,757 miles is the most technically significant entry in this history. The tester flagged excessively worn suspension bushes across all four corners of the front sub-frame and both rear lower suspension arms, along with a worn offside front tyre exposing cords. The diesel particulate filter also showed evidence of tampering, and rear brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored. A prospective buyer should inspect the underside closely for the quality of the replacement bushes and sub-frame components, verifying that the work was completed to a standard consistent with the clean follow-up tests. The DPF tampering advisory warrants a check that the emissions system is now compliant and that no fault codes remain stored. Beyond the documented faults, the vehicle's age and mileage mean that front and rear suspension coil springs, anti-roll bar links, and steering rack bushes deserve physical inspection for deterioration. Brake disc and pad condition should be verified across all four corners, particularly at the rear where scoring was previously noted. Given the clean current MOT, the structural integrity of the sub-frame mounting points and any evidence of corrosion around the sills and wheel arches remain the most important areas to examine before purchase.
