Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prospective buyers should prioritise a professional mechanical inspection, specifically focusing on the braking system and exhaust integrity. The October 2025 failure noted a leaking offside front hydraulic brake calliper and an inability to test braking performance; you must verify that these issues, and any related hydraulic system faults, have been fully rectified with genuine parts.
Furthermore, the emissions failure (carbon monoxide and Lambda readings) suggests potential fuel system or engine management issues that require specialist attention. Do not rely solely on the recent 'Pass' certificate, as several advisories regarding shock absorber bushes and wheel bearing play were carried over from the previous failure. Ensure you request documentation proving these specific components were addressed.
Running this 3.6L Porsche 911 will be expensive. Expect high fuel consumption due to the large engine displacement and high insurance groups typical for classic performance cars.
Maintenance costs are likely to be significant, especially given the recent MOT failures involving hydraulic braking components and suspension bushes. While specific tax and insurance bands aren't provided, the high engine capacity and performance profile suggest a high annual expenditure. Estimate your budget for parts and specialist labour accordingly.
A thorough inspection of the braking system is mandatory. The October 2025 MOT record explicitly flagged a leaking offside front hydraulic brake calliper and compromised braking performance. Check for any signs of fluid weeping around the calipers and master cylinder.
You should also examine the suspension and steering components. The most recent records show worn bushes on both nearside and offside front upper shock absorbers, alongside slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing. Additionally, check the steering rack gaiters to ensure the offside steering rack gaiter issue mentioned in the October failure has been resolved to prevent dirt ingress.
This white 1993 Porsche 911, powered by a 3.6L petrol engine, shows a recent history of mechanical instability. Although it passed its November 2025 MOT at 113,003 miles, this followed a significant failure in October 2025 involving brake leaks and exhaust emissions issues. The vehicle's mileage is substantially higher than the model average of 2,166 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 90.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to headlamps, exhausts, and anti-roll bars.
