2019 Porsche Macan MOT pass rate: 94.6% (13,790 tests)
Is the 2019 Macan getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 95.4% +5.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 94.2% +5.9 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 94.2% +7.2 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.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 Macan?
