1989 Porsche 944 2.5L Petrol · F764 DOJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record across its most recent testing cycles. The most recent inspection in October 2025 at 121,849 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in May 2024, the vehicle re-passed just ten days later at the same mileage, suggesting a minor mechanical issue that was promptly rectified rather than a sign of chronic mechanical decline. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 37-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between December 2021 and February 2023, the car covered only 335 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or very limited seasonal use. This lack of movement often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation such as perished rubber seals, dried fluid breakdown, and brake caliper corrosion. The consistent low mileage across the years confirms the low figures recorded on the odometer. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, as the 944 is prone to corrosion in the wheel arches and rear mounting points. Because the car has sat for long intervals, the condition of the suspension bushes and brake hoses requires scrutiny for cracking or dry rot. Despite the clean MOT history, the low usage means the buyer must check for binding calipers or seized hydraulic components which often occur when vehicles are not driven regularly enough to clear the systems.
