2008 PORSCHE 9113.8L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred attention regarding age-related degradation. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 65,352 miles was a pass, it carried over multiple advisories from previous years. The mechanical condition appears stable in a negative sense, as recurring issues like pitted rear brake discs and perished seals have persisted across several testing cycles, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when they approach failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 65,352 miles, this 18-year-old Porsche has averaged approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the state of rubber components and metal surfaces which suffer more from time and moisture than from mechanical wear. Between October 2023 and November 2024, the car covered only 2,333 miles, yet it failed a test due to serious shock absorber leaks and brake pipe corrosion. This indicates that the vehicle likely sits stationary, allowing corrosion and fluid degradation despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and fluid lines. The persistent corrosion on the front and rear brake pipes, noted in 2023 and 2024, represents a risk of sudden hydraulic failure if not treated or replaced. The rear brake discs have been flagged as pitted and scored since 2023, indicating long-term exposure to the elements or lack of use. Furthermore, the coolant leak reported in late 2024 must be verified to ensure the cooling system remains pressurized, as low-mileage cars often suffer from brittle plastic failure over age.
