1997 PORSCHE 9113.6L PETROL/GAS

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 47,398 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing potential issues before they escalate, preventing the mechanical degradation typically seen in older vehicles of this era. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 29-year-old Porsche, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 8,027 miles, with a notable jump of 3,589 miles occurring between March 2024 and March 2025. Such low usage implies the vehicle is likely stored and used sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and braking system, it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or fluid contamination due to periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of components prone to age-related failure rather than mileage wear. Focus on the cracking of suspension bushes, bushings, and tyre sidewalls which lose elasticity over decades. Check the brake lines for signs of corrosion and inspect the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden rust, as the MOT does not always detect surface corrosion in inaccessible areas. Verify that the fluids have been changed according to time rather than distance, as low mileage often leads to neglected internal engine and gearbox oil services.
