Our Verdict
Recommended. This is a low-mileage examp
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the windscreen and headlamp lenses, as these have appeared as advisories in the two most recent MOT tests. You should use these points as a basis for negotiation, as replacing a Porsche windscreen or restoring headlamp clarity can be costly. Ensure you verify the full service history, specifically looking for regular oil changes and brake fluid intervals, which are essential for the longevity of the 2.7L engine.
Check that the windscreen washer jets are functioning correctly, as these were a cause for failure in April 2024. While the vehicle has a generally positive record, ensure that any 'product on the lens' mentioned in the 2025 MOT has been addressed or is purely cosmetic and not affecting visibility.
The 2706cc petrol engine provides a balance of performance and efficiency, though it will attract higher fuel costs and road tax than a standard commuter car. Insurance groups for the Cayman are typically high, reflecting its sports car status and repair costs.
Maintenance for this model involves premium parts and specialised labour. Given the age and performance nature of the vehicle, you should budget for higher-than-average servicing costs. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,500-£2,200.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the glass and lighting. The MOT records from 2025 and 2026 specifically mention windscreen damage and a product on the headlamp lenses; check for cracks or pitting that may require replacement. Ensure the offside front tyre is in good condition and that the washer jets are fully operational following the 2024 failure.
While this specific vehicle has not failed for them, aggregate data for the Cayman shows that ball joints, road wheel fixings, and tyres are common failure points. Have a qualified mechanic check the suspension components and wheel bolts to ensure they are within safety tolerances.
This 2014 Black Porsche Cayman has covered 51,190 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 3,330 miles per year. The MOT history is relatively clean, with only one failure recorded in 2024 due to a punctured tyre and washer jet issues. Recent tests from 2025 and 2026 have flagged recurring advisories regarding windscreen damage and headlamp lens condition.
The Porsche Cayman demonstrates a high level of reliability in aggregate data, with an average MOT pass rate of 91.7% across 16,091 vehicles.
