2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 S 3.8L Other · AN03 TOW

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health with a stable, positive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 19 August 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the car met all statutory safety and environmental standards exactly one year ago. This lack of recorded advisories across the three most recent inspections suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the current keeper. The recorded mileage of 78,559 miles over a 22-year lifespan averages approximately 3,571 miles per annum, which is significantly below the national average for a performance vehicle of this era. The testing intervals show consistent usage patterns, with no evidence of prolonged periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized calipers, perished rubber seals, or fuel system degradation. The steady accumulation of miles indicates the car has been used as a weekend or fair-weather machine rather than a daily driver, which typically preserves the integrity of the chassis and interior trim. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always manifest as MOT failures, specifically the cooling system and engine bay peripherals. Given the age of the Porsche, examine the coolant pipes and radiators for signs of corrosion or leakage, as these are common failure points that fall outside the scope of a standard MOT test. Verify the condition of the suspension dampers and control arm bushings, as these rubber components can degrade due to age regardless of low mileage. While the MOT history is exemplary, a thorough check of the service history for documented oil changes and spark plug replacements remains essential to ensure the flat-six engine has received the necessary internal care to match its clean exterior record.
