2001 Porsche 911 3.4L Petrol · Y804 BBA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a recent successful MOT on 10 December 2025 at 206,951 miles. This pass followed a minor failure just five days prior due to a missing offside front mirror, suggesting recent remedial work was completed to meet standards. While the most recent result shows no defects, the historical record indicates a vehicle that requires consistent attention to address component wear and age-related degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 8,278 miles per year over its 25-year lifespan. The records show a steady progression from 165,212 miles in December 2017 to the current 206,951 miles in late 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing or evidence of long-term storage, which implies regular use. The incremental mileage increases between annual tests suggest a predictable driving pattern rather than erratic or heavy-duty usage. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the braking system and suspension components, as these have appeared frequently in the MOT history. The tester flagged multiple instances of brake pipe corrosion and worn discs, notably in November 2019 and November 2020. Although the 2024 test noted an oil leak that was not considered excessive, the recurring nature of such leaks in high-mileage air-cooled engines warrants a thorough check of seals and gaskets. Suspension and drivetrain integrity also require scrutiny. The record shows a history of track rod end play, worn anti-roll bar linkages, and split CV boots, specifically in the November 2021 and November 2023 tests. Furthermore, the December 2024 test identified corrosion on a nearside rear suspension component mounting area. While the tester did not classify this as excessive sill corrosion, the presence of oxidation in structural mounting areas is a trend that necessitates a close physical inspection of the chassis and subframes.
