Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers prior
With 122,388 miles on the odometer, the primary focus should be on verifying the service history, as MOT records only confirm roadworthiness and not mechanical maintenance. Check for documentation regarding major engine milestones and oil system health, which are critical for high-mileage air-cooled engines. Use the high mileage relative to the model's average annual figure of 2,160 miles as a point for price negotiation.
Ensure you verify the provenance of the vehicle and check for any evidence of structural repairs. Given the age and specific 3.6L engine configuration, ensure all fluids are clean and there are no active leaks, as these are common points of wear for this generation.
The 3600cc petrol engine will result in high fuel consumption and higher insurance premiums due to the vehicle's performance and classic status. Road tax will be determined by the 1993 registration and engine capacity.
Typical maintenance for a high-mileage 911 can be costly, requiring specialist knowledge. When factoring in fuel, insurance, and the likely need for periodic specialist parts, the annual running costs will be significantly higher than a modern equivalent.
Specifically inspect the nearside rear tyre, which was recorded as worn close to the legal limit during the August 2025 MOT. While this vehicle has not failed for the model's most common issues in recent years, you should still closely examine the exhaust system, headlamps, and brake pipes, as these are the top failure points for the 911 across aggregate data.
Perform a thorough inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the engine bay for oil leaks. Given the mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushings and brake discs for excessive wear.
This 1993 purple Porsche 911 has recorded 122,388 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history from 2022 to 2025 is consistent, with three clean passes and one pass in August 2025 that included a single advisory for tyre wear. It is an example of a model that generally enjoys a high aggregate pass rate of 90.8%.
The 911 has a strong overall reliability reputation with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.8%.
