Porsche Cayenne V6 Diesel Tip S (2010)
2010 Porsche Cayenne V6 Diesel Tip S
CarHunch analysed 333 real MOT records for the 2010 Porsche Cayenne V6 Diesel Tip S. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Cayenne diesel is a troublemaker: only 11.9% pass first time, versus the UK average of 80%, and the median CarHunch score of 45 reflects a seriously unreliable cohort. Dangerous defects are mercifully rare at 1.2%, but buyers should expect chronic issues—the average car racks up 0.13 failures per test.
At 87,500 miles median, these vehicles are well-used, yet still generating 0.5 advisories per test on average, suggesting wear and tear compounds the inherent reliability problem. If you're considering one, factor in regular and expensive repairs—this isn't a buy-it-and-forget-it SUV, so get a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a Porsche specialist before committing.
What to check before buying a 2010 Porsche Cayenne V6 Diesel Tip S
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
