The Appeal

The Cayenne makes a strong case for being the ultimate Porsche all-rounder. It is infused with the agility and performance of the 911 but with the luxury and practicality you’d expect of a big SUV. The 958.1 generation didn’t mess with the formula but, in typical Porsche style, tweaked improvements in virtually all areas.

This Cayenne S spent its life in the cossetting environs of Japan until late 2023, benefitting from its salt-free roads and high maintenance standards. We’re told it had one keeper whilst there and was maintained by a Porsche main dealer. It arrived in the UK with the current keeper and received a full service, new tyres and attention to the gearbox, differential and transfer case. The aesthetics benefit from a three-stage machine polish with ceramic finish.

This is a really well-kept and properly maintained low mileage Cayenne with the 400bhp V8. A lengthy, advisory-free MOT to December 2025 adds further transparency and reassurance for the buyer.

The vendor says:

The combination of petrol 4.8 V8, 8 speed automatic gearbox, 20" alloys and air suspension gives a very comfortable ride. Comfort, Standard and Sport drive settings give driver options to suit the road. Has been fairly frugal compared to previous SUV returning over 30mpg on a run.”
