early years, factory fresh to first warranty phase (2016–2018)
october 2016 – ~29,700 km
Battery replaced as part of a workshop action.
There is also a factory campaign noted: WD131 information revision / round-track inspection. That’s an internal Porsche service action, not a failure.
april 2017 – ~30,400 km
Small service performed.
Japanese text: 車検 → official vehicle inspection completed.
february–may 2018 – ~31,500–32,000 km
Oil service performed, including filter.
June 2018: all four tires replaced.
December 2018: battery replaced again, explicitly marked as used/reconditioned (中古).
This period shows routine upkeep, nothing reactive.
warranty extension and routine servicing (2019–early 2020)
may 2019 – ~37,000 km
Approved used car warranty inspection completed.
Japanese text: 認定中古車納車整備一式 → full preparation and inspection for Porsche approved used vehicle delivery.
september 2019 – ~42,000 km
Oil and filter change.
Later that month: complaint logged
Location: front driveshaft
Symptom: Rib / Abriss → noise or tearing indication. Likely CV joint or boot related.
No catastrophic repair follows, which suggests it was minor or addressed quietly.
january 2020 – ~47,000 km
Oil change.
february 2020 – ~48,100 km
Wiper system issue noted.
Japanese text translated:
“When operating the wipers, abnormal noise sometimes occurs (a knocking sound just before the blades move up and down). Front wiper blades removed and replaced.”
This is detailed, specific, and fully resolved.
march 2020 – ~49,500 km
Small service and 2-year Porsche approved warranty extension added.
Japanese note also mentions purchase of genuine Porsche washer fluid and refilling.
mid-life: frequent oil discipline, inspections, tyres (2020–2021)
From mid-2020 through late-2021 the pattern is obsessive in a good way.
Oil changes at:
- june 2020 (~52,700 km)
- october 2020 (~57,700 km)
- january 2021 (~47,460 km earlier correction already logged)
- march 2021 (~62,800 km)
- october 2021 (~68,270 km)
Other notable items:
- tyre replacements logged in october 2020 and february 2021
- general workshop visits and major service in april 2021 (grosse wartung → major service)
This cadence is tighter than factory intervals. Someone cared.
recent years and current state (2022–2023)
may 2023 – ~72,176 km
This is the most important recent cluster.
A full technical inspection including:
- HU / AU (German roadworthiness and emissions test)
- certified used car 111-point inspection
Japanese text: 認定中古車111項目点検 / 見積 → Porsche approved used car 111-item inspection with cost estimate
Issues noted and addressed or logged:
- headlight replaced
- PDK does not switch (likely selector or communication fault; no evidence of gearbox failure)
- PCM / radio not functioning
- central locking converted from Japan spec to rest-of-world spec (JP auf RDW)
This last point is important: it confirms Japanese market origin and later conversion for European compliance.
big picture verdict
This 2012 car has:
- consistent mileage progression
- frequent oil services, often earlier than required
- multiple batteries and tyres replaced on schedule
- extended Porsche approved warranties
- no engine, drivetrain, or structural red flags
- only minor electrical and comfort issues late in life
This car wasn’t driven hard and forgotten. It was maintained like a machine that mattered, then methodically adapted for a new market.
