1987 Porsche 911 3.1L Petrol · DAZ 2286

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a stable history of passes culminating in a clean test on 20 January 2018. The absence of major failures or recurring defects across the recorded period indicates a vehicle that has met DVSA safety requirements with minimal intervention, showing a trend of stability rather than deterioration. The recorded mileage of 168,868 miles over 39 years equates to an average of approximately 4,330 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the rigours of heavy daily use, though the total mileage remains substantial for a classic vehicle. Mechanically, this implies that while high-wear drivetrain components have seen significant use, the vehicle has avoided the extreme wear associated with very high-mileage examples of this era. Attention should be paid to the front suspension, as the 2013 MOT record noted slight play in both the nearside and offside front lower suspension ball joints. Although no further advisories were recorded in later tests, the buyer should listen for audible knocks or pops when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or driving over speed bumps. Any perceptible play or instability in the steering geometry during a test drive would suggest these components, or associated suspension bushes, require replacement. A significant data gap exists between the final recorded test in January 2018 and the current date of October 2026. Because the vehicle has not been recorded as tested for over eight years, the current condition of the tyres, brake discs, and overall structural integrity cannot be verified through DVSA records. A comprehensive physical inspection is necessary to identify any corrosion or perished rubber components that may have developed during this period of undocumented usage or storage.
