1990 Porsche 944 3.0L Petrol · G747 DTW

The vehicle currently in a state of inconsistent roadworthiness with a history of neglect followed by reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 113,205 miles, the failure just two months prior in October that year reveals a critical lack of mechanical and structural attention. The trend shows a vehicle that sat idle for years and was then returned to road with a multitude of safety-critical failures, suggesting that maintenance is only addressed when legally forced by the MOT tester rather than through a proactive service schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old Porsche, averaging approximately 3,145 miles per year. However, the data indicates a long period of stasis. There is a significant seven-year gap between the October 2018 and October 2025 tests, during which the mileage remained static at 113,205 miles. This stagnation explains the presence of perished tyres, pitted brake discs, and excessive exhaust emissions, as long periods without use often lead to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of hydraulic lines. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the offside rear inner subframe mounting which was flagged for significant corrosion in 2018. Although the 2025 failure noted excessively corroded brake pipes near the ABS unit and a fractured anti-roll bar bracket, these must be verified as replaced rather than patched. The suspension also requires close scrutiny, as the previous failure of a ball joint for being likely to detach indicates a pattern of wear in the steering and suspension geometry. Furthermore, the missing rear seats and seatbelts indicate the vehicle has been modified in a way that affects safety compliance and interior value.
