The Porsche Macan build year that fails most for its age is 2015: index 110.4 (95% CI 105.9–114.9) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 21,600).

Build year matters for the Porsche Macan: 2015 Porsche Macans fail more than their age would predict, 2017 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

If a Porsche Macan fails, does it fail again?

12.2% of Porsche Macans that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 8.1% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 2,092). The failure most likely to come back is ‘noise, emissions and leaks’: 19.0% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

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

Of every 100 Porsche Macans tested at age 5, about 7 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; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 8 and 9, 3.77 percentage points (2024).

Porsche Macan MOT: quick answers

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

90.8% of first attempts passed in 2024 (30,095 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 30,095 primary tests: 9.15% failed first time and 92.5% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 48.5 is shown separately.
