2009 PORSCHE 9113.8L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent test in February 2026 at 74,821 miles resulted in a pass despite a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot and a nail in the offside rear tyre. This follows a period of relatively clean records between 2023 and 2025, suggesting that while the car is mechanically sound, specific components are often only addressed once they reach a failure threshold. At 74,821 miles, this 17-year-old Porsche shows low usage, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the data between 2017 and 2020, where the vehicle covered only 1,639 miles over three years. Since then, usage has increased more consistently, covering over 12,000 miles in the last six years. This low-mileage profile often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, which aligns with the recent deterioration found on the drive shaft joint. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with disc wear and imbalance. The tester flagged imbalanced brakes in 2015, pitted rear discs in 2017, and a failure in 2022 for significantly worn rear brake discs. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, these recurring faults suggest the calipers or rotors may be prone to uneven wear. Additionally, the 2014 advisory regarding a tyre worn smooth on the inner edge indicates potential alignment or camber issues that should be verified to prevent premature tyre scrubbing. The deteriorated offside front CV boot noted in February 2026 requires immediate attention to prevent grease loss and eventual drive shaft joint failure. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for cracking in suspension bushes and perished rubber seals which are common in cars that sit for long periods. The history does not indicate structural corrosion, but the focus should remain on the mechanical integrity of the braking and drivetrain components.
