Our Verdict
A well-maintained 2016 Porsche 911 with an otherwise clean MOT history, though the single tyre-related failure in 2025 warrants minor scrutiny. Offers strong performance and reliability for its age.
Prioritise a pre-purchase inspection to confirm the offside rear tyre was replaced and check for signs of uneven wear or suspension issues. Verify service records to ensure regular maintenance, particularly for the engine and transmission. Negotiate slightly if the MOT failure is unresolved, but this is a minor issue. Be prepared for higher-than-average servicing costs typical of Porsche models.
Fuel economy for the 3.8L petrol engine is likely modest, with urban driving averaging 18-22 mpg. Tax in 2026 would be £140-£155 for a petrol car registered before 2017. Insurance groups for 911s are typically high, with annual premiums exceeding £1,000. Scheduled maintenance, including oil changes and brake inspections, will cost £300-£500 annually. Estimated annual running costs: £1,500-£2,000.
Focus on the offside rear tyre area for signs of recurring structural issues or improper replacement. Check suspension components for wear, as uneven tyre wear could indicate alignment problems. Inspect the engine bay for leaks or corrosion, and verify the service history for timing belt/chain replacements (critical for 911s). Review the vehicle's history for any accident reports, though none are indicated here.
This 2016 Porsche 911 has a mostly clean MOT history, with only one minor failure recorded in 2025. At 24,352 miles, the mileage is below average for a 10-year-old vehicle, suggesting careful ownership. The red colour and 3.8L petrol engine align with typical 911 specifications, though no model-wide reliability data is available to contextualise its performance.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Porsche 911, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends for this specific model.
