2022 Porsche Cayman

CarHunch analysed 459 real MOT records for the 2022 Porsche Cayman. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Porsche Cayman is exceptionally reliable, with a 97.3% first-time pass rate that blows past the UK average of 80%—this is genuinely impressive for a car this young. Dangerous defects are rare at just 3%, so safety isn't a concern for prospective buyers.

These Caymans are running low mileage for their age, averaging just under 13,000 miles, which explains why failures are almost non-existent (0.06 per vehicle) and advisories minimal (0.3 per vehicle). Before you buy one, verify the full service history and check whether the low mileage reflects genuine light use or inconsistent maintenance, as Porsches can develop issues if they've been left standing between drives.

What to check before buying a 2022 Porsche Cayman

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.
