Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for those seekin
Given the Petrol/Gas fuel type, buyers should specifically request documentation regarding the gas system's installation and subsequent maintenance, as this is a departure from the standard petrol setup. While the MOT history is clear, it does not provide evidence of engine servicing; therefore, a comprehensive service folder documenting oil changes and valve adjustments is essential for a vehicle of this age.
Running costs will be significant due to the 3.6L engine capacity and the vehicle's age. Fuel consumption will be high, though the gas component may offer some offset in fuel costs. Insurance for a classic 911 in silver can be expensive depending on the group and the owner's profile.
While this specific car has no recorded MOT failures, the wider 911 model data identifies headlamps, exhausts, and anti-roll bars as common failure points; these should be physically inspected for wear or corrosion. Particular attention should be paid to the gas conversion components and the seals around the engine bay to ensure there are no leaks that a standard MOT might not highlight.
This 3600cc Petrol/Gas Porsche 911 presents a very stable record, having passed five MOT tests between 2021 and 2025 without a single defect or advisory. With 57,177 miles recorded in its most recent test, the vehicle's usage is consistent with the low annual mileage typical for this model. It represents a rare example of a 28-year-old vehicle with a completely clear recent testing history.
The 911 maintains a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.7%, though it is prone to issues with exhausts and anti-roll bars.
