Our Verdict

Exercise significant caution. The vehicl

The most critical point for negotiation and investigation is the absence of MOT records since August 2022. You must establish why the vehicle has not been tested for four years and whether it has been in storage or is currently unroadworthy. Given the Petrol/Gas fuel type, ensure the LPG system is professionally installed, certified, and leak-free, as this is a modification from the factory specification.

Because the recorded mileage is high for this model, do not rely solely on the MOT history. Request comprehensive service records to verify the timing of major component replacements. Be prepared to negotiate the price based on the cost of bringing the vehicle back up to current MOT standards after its long hiatus.

Running costs for a 3.4L engine are typically high, though the Petrol/Gas configuration may offer some fuel cost offsets depending on the LPG efficiency. Insurance for a 1998 911 is generally expensive due to its classic status and repair costs.

Maintenance for high-mileage Porsches can be significant, particularly regarding engine seals and suspension components. Expect higher than average annual spend on specialized parts and labour to maintain the vehicle's roadworthiness.

Prioritise an inspection of the exhaust system and brake pipes, as these are cited as top failure reasons for the 911 across aggregate data. Check the headlamps for condensation or failure, another common model weakness.

Given the 131,569 miles and the long period of inactivity since 2022, inspect the tyres for flat spots or perishing and check all fluid levels for degradation. A thorough check of the dual-fuel system is essential to ensure it operates safely and efficiently.

This 1998 blue Porsche 911 is equipped with a 3400cc Petrol/Gas engine and recorded 131,569 miles at its last MOT in August 2022. While that specific test was passed without defects, there are no recorded tests between 2022 and the current date. It is a high-mileage example of the model with a non-standard fuel configuration.

The 911 shows a strong aggregate pass rate of 90.8%, though it is prone to exhaust and brake pipe failures.
