Find one that has been serviced correctly would be my advice. Always going to be problematic especially when the time comes to sell

Call and double check with someone else.

If it's had the service then find out what's been done. Was it major, did it inlcude spark plugs? The car will need belt check and PDK fluid change next year too, so see if they will include those in the price.

Also check they have replaced the tyres as the 111 point check says the tyres need to be <5 years old.

Once validating all of this try to call Reading and have them check the history on their database.

Otherwise, move on.

Totally agree with the above.

Speak to someone who can give you an accurate answer regarding the service. The car should have had a major done in 2024 and another minor is due next year plus a belt check. PDK oil change isn't due until year 12.

A major (4 Year) consists of:

1 x seal ring
1 x TOPUP/BAG
1 x AIR FILTER AIR SUCTION
1 x WINDOW CLEANER OUTER
1 x Odour and allergen filter
1 x CAP
1 x Oil filter insert
8 x Engine Oil 0W-40 C40 X4 1L
1 x 1 Litre Brake fluid
6 x Spark plug

Cost for the above is ~£1800.

Avoid and get one with full service history. Peace of mind and easy to resell (unless you tend to keep your cars 5+ years)

I bought my cayman from Porsche Guildford and one of the services was about 16 months late but had only done a few k miles since services. I was told they can still sell it as approved Porsche with a 2 year warranty as the service schedule has been brought up to date. Similar happened to a friends Macan and was told the same.

That's true but the clutch fluid needs changing every 6 years too
