1997 PORSCHE 9113.6L PETROL/GAS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in February 2026 at 73,225 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This streak suggests that the owner has proactively addressed minor issues before they escalated into mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nearly thirty-year-old Porsche, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per annum. Between January 2023 and February 2024, the car covered only 5 miles, indicating a significant period of storage or very minimal use. However, the jump of 2,026 miles between February 2024 and February 2025 shows a return to more active driving. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intermittent usage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown which do not manifest in mileage figures alone. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A physical inspection should prioritise checking for cracking in suspension bushes, bushings, and perished seals, which become brittle over time regardless of distance traveled. The brakes should be examined for corrosion on discs and seized calipers resulting from sitting stationary for long periods. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden rust remains vital, as the MOT test only inspects specific areas for surface and structural decay.
