1962 Porsche 356 Super 90 1.6L Petrol · 632 XWB

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness based on the most recent inspection data. The latest test conducted on 29 August 2025 at 58,780 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a clean result from 4 October 2024, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum regulatory standards without recurring failures. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 64-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 918 miles per year. The interval between the October 2024 test at 58,778 miles and the August 2025 test at 58,780 miles shows only two miles of travel. This pattern suggests the car is stored as a collector item or used only for very short journeys. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber degradation, seal perishation, and fluid stagnation. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of areas prone to long-term sitting. Focus should remain on the structural integrity of the floor pans, sills, and wheel arches, where corrosion often hides on low-mile vehicles. Check the brake lines and calipers for internal pitting and inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or dry rot, as these components age regardless of distance. The tyres should be examined for flat spotting and sidewall cracking rather than mere tread depth.
