1996 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · N433 COV

The 1996 Porsche 911 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 5 September 2025 at 66,739 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects across its last five tests, and the most recent failure on 4 September 2025 at 66,732 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 66,739 against a 30-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,225 miles per year and confirming very light use. The odometer moved only 651 miles between the October 2022 tests and the November 2023 pass at 66,164 miles, then crept up a further 575 miles to the 2025 pass. Such low annual accumulation suggests long standing periods, though the sparse clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the age and likely dormancy of the car. Standing storage promotes corrosion on structural members and brake discs, and flat spots can develop on tyres through prolonged immobility. The MOT record flags none of these, but the test intervals are too wide and the defect fields too empty to certify component condition. Verify the 4 September 2025 failure reason with DVSA, as a no-defect fail on a classic 911 often points to documentation or identifier mismatch rather than wear. Confirm underseal integrity and check for perished rubber on the cooling and fuel lines before relying on the clean pass as a full mechanical assurance.
