2009 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · RPG 1

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 17 April 2026 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history since 2023, the maintenance trend appears to be improving. The vehicle previously suffered a failure due to excessively corroded brake pipes and subsequent advisories regarding pitted rear brake discs and a vacuum pump oil leak. The current clean certificate suggests these items have been addressed, indicating a proactive approach to rectification in recent years. With a recorded mileage of 41,545 miles over seventeen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 2,444 miles per year. This is significantly lower than average for a grand tourer of this vintage. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, it often introduces risks associated with long periods of standing. Such usage profiles typically necessitate a closer inspection of time-sensitive components rather than wear-based consumables. Given the history of brake pipe corrosion and pitted discs, the buyer should verify that the brake lines have been fully replaced rather than merely treated with grease. During a test drive, feel for any brake shudder or inconsistent pedal pressure, which can indicate residual disc warping or caliper issues. The previous advisory regarding a vacuum pump oil leak warrants a physical inspection of the engine bay for fresh oil residue, as vacuum leaks can affect engine idling and braking assistance. Due to the low annual mileage, particular attention must be paid to the condition of the tyres; check the sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. The buyer should also inspect the brake calipers for binding and the discs for surface corrosion caused by inactivity. Finally, verify the service history for calendar-based fluid changes, as engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid degrade over time, and ensure the 12V battery has been maintained or replaced to avoid electrical instability.
