MOT pass rate · 2025 data
Porsche Macan MOT pass rate

How the Porsche Macan holds up with age
Every car fails the MOT more often as it gets older. What matters when you are buying is how steeply that happens for this particular model. These are the 2025 pass rates for the Porsche Macan grouped by the vehicle's age at the time of the test.
| Age at test | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 years | 11,818 | 94.86% |
| 6–10 years | 21,782 | 91.31% |
| 11 years and over | 1,167 | 86.63% |
The Porsche Macan loses 8.2 percentage points between its early years and the 11-plus bracket — a normal pattern for a car of this age, but still worth checking the individual history.
Why the Porsche Macan fails its MOT
Across every Porsche Macan that failed its 2025 MOT, the most common area of failure was tyres, accounting for 41.25% of all recorded failure items. These are the areas worth having checked before you buy, and worth budgeting for on an older example.
| Failure area | Share of failure items | Recorded items |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres | 41.25% | 1,824 |
| Body, chassis, structure | 12.91% | 571 |
| Brakes | 10.97% | 485 |
| Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment | 9.91% | 438 |

What this means when buying a used Porsche Macan
A pass rate is a population average, not a verdict on the specific car in front of you. The average Porsche Macan came to its 2025 test at 49,441 miles and 6.6 years old. Most examples tested were petrol, though 24.61% were diesel.
The useful check is the individual car's own MOT record: how many times it has failed, what for, and whether advisories keep reappearing. A recurring advisory on corrosion, suspension or brakes tells you far more than a model-wide average, and a mileage that does not move consistently between tests is a warning in itself.
