2009 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · 6 SDD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of mechanical wear. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 32,537 miles passed, the tester identified nearside play in the steering rack inner joints. This represents a departure from the previous three years of clean records between 2021 and 2023, indicating that components are beginning to degrade despite the low annual usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,914 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 8,988 miles, suggesting a pattern of infrequent use or long storage. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the premature drying of rubber-based parts and the degradation of fluid seals, as evidenced by the minor tyre damage noted in November 2024 at 30,178 miles. A buyer must physically inspect the steering and suspension assembly to determine if the play in the nearside inner joint is isolated or indicative of failing bushes and linkages. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also focus on brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden rust remains vital, as the MOT record does not account for the age-related oxidation of a vehicle of this era.
