PORSCHE 928 S1983 · 4.7L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of passes. The most recent test on April 5, 2023 at 71,494 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for a nearside headlamp aim being too high. This adjustment was clearly rectified immediately, as no further defects or advisories were recorded. The data suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without significant mechanical degradation appearing in the official inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 43-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,663 miles per year. There is a notable seven-year gap between the April 2014 and March 2021 tests, during which the car covered only 318 miles. Since 2021, the usage has increased slightly, covering 465 miles over two years. This extremely low mileage indicates the car has likely been stored for long periods rather than used for daily commuting, which often leads to issues with rubber-based components and fluid degradation rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. While the MOT record shows no structural rust or brake failures, the lack of regular use often results in perished suspension bushes, cracked coolant hoses, and seized brake calipers. Inspect the underside for signs of surface corrosion and check the tyres for flat-spot despite adequate tread depth. Given the age of the Porsche, verifying the integrity of the engine seals and the condition of the timing belt is critical, as the MOT does not account for internal mechanical health that typically suffers after long periods of inactivity.
