Which Porsche Cayenne years should I avoid?

The Porsche Cayenne build year that fails most for its age is 2009: index 113.2 (95% CI 107.1–119.4) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 5,335).

Build year matters for the Porsche Cayenne: 2009 Porsche Cayennes fail more than their age would predict, 2019 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

What does a Porsche Cayenne cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Porsche Cayennes tested at age 5, about 8 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 16 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Porsche Cayenne MOT: quick answers

What is the Porsche Cayenne first-time MOT pass rate?

84.2% of first attempts passed in 2024 (30,161 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 30,161 primary tests: 15.78% failed first time and 87.2% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 57.3 is shown separately.
