The PORSCHE PANAMERA (2009-15) 4DR SALOON 3.0D DPF 250 EU5 TIP S AUTO8 is a large, luxury four-door performance car, sitting above ordinary family saloons in the UK market. Its sleek, low shape and practical rear hatch give it a sportier feel than a traditional executive car, while four seats make longer journeys comfortable. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,781 checks across 472 different VINs, a substantial sample for this model. The data shows an average private-sale valuation of £16,000 and average recorded mileage of 98,000 miles; typical annual use is around 7,000 miles. Cars checked had about 4.4 previous keepers on average, so reviewing each car’s history is especially worthwhile. It suits drivers wanting refined motorway comfort, diesel touring and Porsche character, rather than a cheap-to-run first car. Against BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class rivals, it stands out with sharper styling and a more involving drive, while retaining everyday practicality.
