1998 PORSCHE 9113.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 12 December 2025 at 93,996 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car consistently meets the minimum standard following minor testing setbacks. While the record shows failures in December 2024 and December 2025, the immediate re-tests just days later suggest that any identified defects were minor and rectified promptly rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 28 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,996 miles reflects a low usage profile of approximately 3,357 miles per year. The data shows a steady but slow progression, with only 3,425 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 2,275 miles in the following year. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long intervals between tests often mask degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry which can occur due to time rather than distance traveled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as low-mileage classic vehicles often suffer from hidden corrosion that annual MOT tests may not fully capture. Given the age of the Porsche, checking the suspension bushes and coil springs is essential, as these parts become brittle over decades. Although the MOT history shows no recorded brake defects, a manual check for binding calipers or disc pitting is necessary to ensure the system has not seized or degraded during the periods of stationary use implied by the low mileage.
