2016 Porsche 911 3.0L Petrol · GJ16 RXM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 29 May 2026 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded during the inspection. This represents a stable trend over the past three annual tests, though the 2024 failure on 5 June—just two days before its subsequent pass—stands out as an anomaly. The single major fault in 2024, involving a severely damaged offside rear tyre, suggests a one-off incident rather than a recurring issue, as no related advisories or further tyre concerns appear in subsequent tests. The absence of advisories in any of the five recorded MOTs implies the vehicle has not been subject to ongoing mechanical or structural neglect. The recorded mileage of 39,603 miles, with an average of approximately 3,960 miles per year, is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and model. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or very light usage, which could either preserve critical components or contribute to stagnant fluids, degraded seals, or corrosion from moisture accumulation. Notably, there is a 12-month gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by a rapid succession of two tests in early June 2024—one failure and one immediate pass—indicating either a rushed replacement of the failed tyre or a temporary storage period before reactivation. The most recent test in May 2026, just three months prior to today, ensures the vehicle has met current MOT standards, but the irregular mileage pattern warrants scrutiny of fluid levels, battery health, and potential corrosion in underused systems. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the tyres , particularly the offside rear, to confirm no further hidden damage exists beyond the 2024 failure. The suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for wear, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation in these areas. Brake systems, while not flagged in MOTs, may require closer inspection for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity, particularly in the wheel arches and subframe, should also be assessed for corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation in critical load-bearing areas. Fluid levels—brake, clutch (if applicable), power steering, and engine oil—should be checked for contamination or degradation, as stagnation can lead to premature failure in high-stress components.
