1989 Porsche 944 2.6L Petrol · 4 CTV

The 1989 Porsche 944 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 December 2024 at 148,915 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations with no advisories or faults raised since late 2021. Mileage data shows remarkably low use for a 37-year-old vehicle. Between the 5 November 2021 test at 148,902 miles and the 7 December 2024 test at 148,915 miles, the car covered only 13 miles across three years. The 19 December 2022 pass at 148,904 miles and the 8 December 2023 pass at 148,909 miles confirm this near-dormant pattern, averaging roughly 4,025 miles per year over its life. Such minimal accumulation suggests long storage periods rather than regular road use. A failed test on 14 December 2022 at 148,902 miles stands out, yet the record lists no defects and the car passed five days later on 19 December 2022. This points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, not a recurring defect trend. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the history. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and hidden rust, as a clean MOT sheet on a 1989 chassis does not confirm sound sills or floorpan. Check the brake calipers for binding after standing, verify tyre condition given age-related perishing, and assess suspension rubbers for cracking from inactivity. The low mileage implies light wear but raises risk of seized components through disuse.
