In 2025, 88.2% of Porsche Panamera MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Porsche Panameras tested pass 75.0% of the time, so the Porsche Panamera does better than average for its age, by 13.2 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 87.2%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

The single most common reason a Porsche Panamera failed its MOT in 2025 was “Tyres: ply or cords exposed”, on 16.1% of 886 failed tests. 30.4% 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.

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.
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Porsche Panamera from 2010, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 22.7 to 27.2 mpg, with CO2 of 236 to 283 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 64.1 to 74.5 mpg (weighted). On the older NEDC test (listings 2010 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 22.6 to 113.0 mpg, with CO2 of 56 to 293 g/km; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 91.1 mpg (weighted).

DVSA lists 24 safety recalls for the Porsche Panamera since 1992, the first in 2010. The most recent was launched on 9 October 2025.
All 24 Porsche Panamera recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Porsche Panamera. 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.
