Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
This Porsche shows a very positive recent trend, having passed its last three MOTs, including the most recent in August 2025, with no defects recorded. The vehicle's condition appears stable and significantly improved compared to its 2017 records. At that time, it failed on several items including split steering rack gaiters, poor parking brake effort, and electrical faults with the fog lamps. These issues were resolved quickly, and the subsequent clean sheets suggest a high standard of current maintenance. The overall mileage is low for a 29-year-old vehicle. However, the history reveals a critical pattern of under-use. The car covered only 248 miles between January 2017 and August 2025. This indicates the vehicle has spent the vast majority of the last eight years standing still. The primary risk is not wear from hard use, but rather degradation caused by inactivity. Long periods of standing can lead to perished rubber components, seized calipers, and the breakdown of essential fluids.
