1987 Porsche 944 2.5L Petrol · D258 BGM

The 1987 Porsche 944 presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 116,076 miles on 10 April 2026. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged at the latest test. Eight days earlier, on 2 April 2026, the same mileage of 116,076 was recorded against a failure with no defects listed, a pattern consistent with an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 116,076 over approximately 39 years equates to a low average of roughly 2,976 miles per year. The MOT history shows no accumulation between the two April 2026 entries, confirming the car was stationary during that interval. Sparse test data limits long-term wear analysis, though the low annual use suggests extended standing periods that can degrade seals, brake calipers, and tyres through age rather than distance. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding given the vehicle's age and likely storage cycles. The clean recent record offers no flagged structural concerns, but a 1987 chassis demands inspection of floor pans and sills for rust. Confirm the April 2026 failure cause with DVSA paperwork before purchase, as the no-defect entry leaves the rejection reason unstated.
