1997 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol/gas · P170 EGM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in February 2026, with the only recorded fault being a rear oil leak that was not considered excessive. A persistent pattern of oil leaks is evident, appearing in every MOT entry from 2023 through to 2026. While the leaks have not been flagged as excessive, they are a recurring issue. There is evidence of previous wear in the front lower wishbone bushes between 2022 and 2024, and significant braking issues were noted in 2023 involving pitted discs and imbalanced operation. However, as these specific suspension and brake faults have not reappeared in the 2025 or 2026 tests, the trend suggests those particular items may have been addressed. The mileage of 161,650 over 29 years equates to roughly 5,574 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. This low usage could indicate lighter driving, but it may also suggest the car has spent long periods stationary. Such periods of inactivity can often lead to the drying out of seals—potentially contributing to the persistent oil leaks—or the development of corrosion on braking surfaces. A buyer should first inspect the engine and rear area for the source and volume of the ongoing oil leaks. You should also verify that the front suspension bushes and the braking system have been adequately maintained or replaced following the previous recorded issues.
