2016 PORSCHE 9113.8L Petrol

The 2016 Porsche 911 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 35,054 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test on 2 January 2026 at the same mileage, where the DVSA entry shows no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 13 January 2025 at 34,419 miles, on 27 November 2023 at 32,497 miles, and on 29 November 2022 at 30,707 miles. The absence of any advisories across five years points to consistent upkeep. The odometer shows 35,054 miles against a ten-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,500 miles per year. The record reveals low annual accumulation: just 635 miles between the November 2022 and November 2023 tests, 1,922 miles to January 2025, and only 635 miles to the January 2026 tests. Such restrained use over a decade suggests prolonged standing periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to develop flat spots, and fluid degradation to occur despite clean MOT outcomes. The sparse, defect-free history gives little cause for concern but offers no deep insight into component condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the braking system, given the car's low use and the unexplained January 2026 failure. The tester should check for binding calipers, corroded discs, and aged brake fluid. Suspension bushes and coil springs warrant close examination for perishing from inactivity rather than wear. Drivetrain seals and coolant hoses should be assessed for deterioration linked to low mileage and storage. The clean MOT trail implies the previous keeper addressed statutory requirements promptly and avoided neglect. The identical mileage on the two January 2026 entries shows the car was retested within days, likely resolving a non-mechanical refusal. No structural corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or recurring advisories appear in the data, so serious mechanical risk looks low on paper.
