1982 Porsche 911 3.0L Petrol · JEY 815Y

The 1982 Porsche 911 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 144,133 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from the 7 November 2023 examination at 143,812 miles. Two consecutive tests with zero advisories indicate the vehicle has been kept to a sound standard over the past two years. The recorded mileage shows remarkably light use for a 44-year-old car. Between the November 2023 test at 143,812 miles and the July 2025 test at 144,133 miles, the vehicle covered only 321 miles across roughly 20 months, an annual rate far below the lifetime average of around 3,276 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests extended periods of storage, though the sparse record leaves a gap of unknown activity before late 2023. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection focused on age-related degradation not captured by a pass result. Long standing periods on a classic 911 promote perishing of suspension bushes, flat spots on tyres, and corrosion to structural floor pans and suspension mounting points. The absence of advisories means the tester found no immediate concern, but brake calipers can seize through inactivity and brake discs may show surface rust. Given the clean history, previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to a reasonable standard rather than deferring consumable replacement. Verify the validity of the recorded mileages and inspect underneath for hidden structural rust before purchase, as MOT passes on low-mileage classics do not guarantee freedom from dormant mechanical faults.
