2012 Porsche 911 3.8L Petrol · PJZ 7

The 2012 Porsche 911 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 74,045 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four prior annual tests back to 1 November 2021 each passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring mechanical concerns, and no structural or emissions issues across the available history. Mileage sits low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 52,895 miles at the 2021 test, rising to 59,421 by November 2022, then 67,846 in December 2023, 72,353 in February 2025, and 74,045 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 5,289 miles per year overall. The gap between the November 2022 and December 2023 tests covers just over eight thousand miles, while the February to July 2025 interval added under two thousand. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglect, though long stationary periods between use cannot be ruled out from MOT data alone. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low-use Porsches of this era commonly develop degraded suspension bushes, tired coil springs, and corroded brake discs from inactivity rather than wear. The MOT raised none of these, but testers do not strip components. Check the underbody for structural corrosion, verify brake calipers are free and not binding after standing, and confirm tyre sidewalls show no perishing from age. The clean history implies a careful keeper, yet the absence of advisories on a low-mileage car often means faults were simply not yet visible at test.
