Is the Porsche Macan ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 26,751 MOT tests, around 87% of Porsche Macans still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 0% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 13%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 68% petrol, 32% diesel. Every petrol Macan in the data (2014 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Every diesel Macan in the data (2014 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Macan
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (68% of Macans tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (32% of Macans tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Macans from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (13% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Porsche can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Porsche Macan for London: what the MOT data shows
The Porsche Macans in this data were first registered between 2014 and 2021. 2017 was the most common year, with 5,429 tests (20% of the total), and half were registered in 2017 or later.
Every Macan in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 97% of the time at 19,868 miles on average, and the oldest (2014) passed 87% at 67,470 miles.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Macans likely to comply are from 2016. 2,384 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 90% of the time and averaged 53,914 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Macan's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (1.3% of tests) and "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (0.9%); body and structure: "constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (0.7%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 11.3% of tests.
Overall, 92% of Macans passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 42,743 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
