Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Porsche Cayenne?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Porsche Cayenne?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Before buying, request full MOT history to check the specific advisories logged—the 0.5 per vehicle average suggests mostly minor wear items—and verify that any maintenance work recommended has actually been done.

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (97.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
