How many Porsche Macans are left in Great Britain?

There were 54,348 Porsche Macans licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 925 declared off the road (SORN). That is the most on the road at any year end since 2014.

Porsche Macan MOT reliability

In 2025, 90.7% of Porsche Macan MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Porsche Macans tested pass 81.5% of the time, so the Porsche Macan does better than average for its age, by 9.2 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 90.8%.

Porsche Macan MOT failures

Tyres is the most common reason a Porsche Macan fails its MOT, appearing on 40.7% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 2.7% of Porsche Macan tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

Most common Porsche Macan MOT defects and advisories

The single most common reason a Porsche Macan failed its MOT in 2025 was “Drive shafts: constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt”, on 14.4% of 3,246 failed tests. 27.6% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

Porsche Macan by year

9 years of the Porsche Macan, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2014 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (85.1% passed first time) and the 2022 cars worst (93.7%).

Porsche Macan engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 53,683 Porsche Macans licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 33.7% have an engine of 2,901cc to 3,000cc, and 25.5% have an engine of 2,801cc to 2,900cc. The share with an engine of 2,901cc to 3,000cc has fallen from 83.3% in 2014 to 33.7%. Diesels made up 69.4% of those licensed in 2014 and 15.6% in 2025.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

Porsche Macan fuel economy and CO2

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Porsche Macan from 2014, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 24.5 to 26.9 mpg, with CO2 of 238 to 261 g/km; electric versions have an official range of 363 to 398 miles. On the older NEDC test (listings 2014 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 29.1 to 46.3 mpg, with CO2 of 161 to 224 g/km.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
• VCA’s data has no Porsche versions for 2019 to 2024, so the years listed may leave out years the Porsche Macan was on sale.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Macan”, “Macan Electric”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Porsche Macan safety recalls

DVSA lists 11 safety recalls for the Porsche Macan since 1992, the first in 2014. The most recent was launched on 13 August 2025.

All 11 Porsche Macan recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Porsche Macan. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
