1996 PORSCHE 9113.6L PETROL/GAS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of deferred repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 148,176 miles passed, a persistent oil leak remains alongside a severely deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. This follows a recurring trend where the oil leak was also noted in both 2025 and 2024, suggesting that while the leak is not excessive, the source remains unaddressed. The recorded mileage of 148,176 miles represents an average usage of under 5,000 miles per year, which is significantly low for a 30-year-old performance car. The data shows a cluster of activity between January 2024 and March 2026, where the car covered over 4,200 miles in a short window. This low annual mileage, combined with the vehicle's age, often leads to accelerated aging of rubber components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces, which is consistent with the failures observed regarding brake discs and dust covers. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension. The records from January 2024 show a failure due to excessively fluctuating rear service brakes and pitted discs across the front axle. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the recurring mention of pitting suggests the car may sit for long periods, allowing moisture to cause corrosion. The persistent failure of the anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover across two consecutive years indicates that rubber components are failing due to age, which will eventually lead to joint failure if not replaced immediately.
