1987 Porsche 911 3.2L Petrol · E597 MLB

The 1987 Porsche 911 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 105,246 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend across the available record is stable, with every annual examination from February 2023 through March 2026 returning a pass or a same-day cleared failure. The single failure on 18 March 2025 at 105,197 miles carried no listed defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed later that same day at 105,215 miles. Recorded mileage sits at 105,246 against roughly 39 years of age, an average of about 2,700 miles per year and exceptionally low for a classic 911. The odometer moved only 370 miles between the February 2023 test at 104,876 miles and the March 2024 test at 105,110 miles, then a further 105 miles to the March 2025 pass at 105,215, and just 31 miles to the 2026 test. Such minimal annual use over several years suggests long periods of storage, with the sparse and defect-free record offering no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points typical of a 1987 bodyshell, particularly sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting areas, as the MOT record logs no advisories on these despite the vehicle's age. The near-static mileage implies the suspension bushes, brake calipers, and flexible hoses may have degraded through inactivity rather than wear, so the tester should check for seized components and flat-spotted tyres. Although no exhaust emissions or drivetrain faults appear in the history, the low-use pattern warrants verification of fluid condition and brake disc surface rust before road use.
