2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S-A 3.0L Petrol · 90 TK

The most recent MOT, carried out on 18 May 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements. With only a single MOT entry available, there is no evidence of a deteriorating trend; the car appears to have been maintained to a standard that satisfies the DVSA’s inspection criteria. At three years old and with a recorded mileage of 8,374 mi, the 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS averages just under 2,800 mi per annum. This is considerably below the typical usage pattern for a high‑performance sports car, suggesting either predominantly short, gentle journeys or periods of extended storage. Low annual mileage reduces cumulative wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension components, but it can also indicate that the vehicle may have spent significant time idle, which can lead to issues unrelated to distance travelled. Given the low mileage and the clean MOT, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, as rubber can degrade even when the tread appears acceptable. Examine the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and verify the state of charge; a battery that has sat for long periods may have reduced capacity and could require replacement. Verify that the service book contains stamps for calendar‑based oil and filter changes, coolant flushes and brake fluid replacements, as manufacturers typically recommend these at 12‑month intervals regardless of mileage. During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises such as clunking from the front suspension bushes or coil springs, which can develop from prolonged standing or infrequent movement. Pay attention to brake feel; any pulsation, shudder or uneven pedal pressure may indicate disc surface corrosion or caliper binding that can arise when a vehicle is seldom driven. Finally, check for any signs of fluid leakage around the engine bay, under the rear diffuser and near the rear‑mid engine oil pan, as seals can dry out over time and begin to leak even with minimal mileage. Addressing these points will give a clear picture of the car’s mechanical health beyond the spotless MOT record.
