1984 Porsche 924 2.0L Petrol · A737 GAL

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2024 at 80,656 miles resulted in a failure for high headlamp aim and a corroded nearside front brake pipe. While the vehicle passed upon immediate rectification, the presence of corrosion on brake lines indicates that the braking system is beginning to show age-related degradation despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 42-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the 2018 test at 79,233 miles and the 2022 test at 79,716 miles, during which the car covered fewer than 500 miles over four years. This stagnant mileage followed by more recent increase in 2024 suggests the car spends long periods in stationary storage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the seizure of mechanical parts. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The June 2023 test flagged slight play in both nearside and offside front wheel bearings, suggesting that the bearings are reaching the end of their functional life. The subsequent 2024 failure regarding the corroded brake pipe covered in grease is a specific concern, as grease can hide structural rust on the metal lines. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak noted in 2023 should be verified to ensure the small hole has not progressed into a structural failure of the central exhaust box.
