Is the 2014 Macan getting worse?

Pass rate of 2014-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	88.9% +11.4 vs same-age
2024	85.6% +10.0 vs same-age
2025	86.8% +12.4 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2014 Porsche Macan reliable?

2014-registered examples passed 87.1% of their MOT tests (3,483 tests, 2023–2025), +11.3 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 12 years old with a median 72,849 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2014 Macan?

The median tested example shows 72,849 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.

Should I buy the petrol or diesel 2014 Macan?

In this cohort petrols pass 91.3% of tests against 85.3% for diesels. Mileage and use can explain part of that gap, so treat it as a reason to inspect DPF and emissions history, not a fuel-type verdict.
