2009 Porsche Cayman 3.4L Petrol · YC59 HWP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 6 January 2026 at 103,809 miles. This lack of recorded defects indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The maintenance trend suggests a proactive approach to repairs, as the car returned to a defect-free state after a specific component failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year over the 17-year period. Between the 2022 test at 52,002 miles and the 2025 test at 87,996 miles, the car covered roughly 36,000 miles, showing steady usage. This low annual mileage generally limits wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading over time. The only notable fault in the history occurred in January 2025 at 87,996 miles, where the tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear drive shaft joint constant velocity boots for severe deterioration. While these were rectified before the 2026 test, a dual failure of CV boots often indicates age-related cracking of the rubber material. A buyer should personally inspect the CV boots for any new grease leakage or tearing to ensure the damage has not reached the internal joints themselves. Given the age of the Porsche, a physical inspection should also focus on the structural integrity and the condition of the suspension bushings. While the MOT record does not currently list corrosion, low-mileage vehicles of this era can suffer from dry rot in rubber components. Checking the brake discs for pitting and binding calipers is also advisable, as the low mileage can sometimes lead to surface rust if the vehicle sits for extended periods.
