2009 Porsche 911 3.8L Petrol · 56 DYT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 25,267 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently passes without defects across the last three tests. While the record shows a failure in early February 2026 just five miles before a pass, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass suggest a minor or consumable-related issue was addressed quickly rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,486 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, particularly between August 2024 and February 2025 when the car covered only 130 miles in six months. This low-frequency usage pattern typically reduces wear on the engine, gearbox, and braking system. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to long stationary periods, which is not fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage rather than high-mileage wear. Specifically, check for sidew cracking on tyres, perished suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers that may result from infrequent use. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting and verify the exhaust system for any-seated rust. The lack of structural advisories in the history suggests a clean chassis, but a close look at the undercarriage remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed during the periods of storage.
