Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but ensure rece
When inspecting this specific 3.6L 911, focus heavily on the suspension components. The 2025 MOT noted worn bushes on both the nearside front and offside front upper shock absorbers, as well as oil misting on the nearside rear shock. You should verify that these components have been replaced or refurbished since that test.
Additionally, confirm that the offside front brake pipe issue mentioned in the 2025 MOT has been fully rectified and is no longer obscured by grease or corrosion. Given the high-performance nature of this vehicle, a thorough check of the braking system and any evidence of fluid leaks is essential. Ask the seller for documentation confirming these specific repairs were carried out.
Running a 3600cc petrol 911 involves significant costs. Expect higher-than-average insurance groups and fuel consumption typical of a large-capacity naturally aspirated engine. Maintenance costs for Porsche components, particularly suspension and braking systems, are generally high.
While specific tax band data isn't provided, the engine size suggests a higher VED bracket. An estimated annual budget should account for premium fuel, specialist servicing, and the high cost of performance tyres and brake components.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the shock absorbers and bushes. Based on the 2025 MOT history, look for any signs of oil misting on the rear dampers or play in the front upper bushes. This is a known area of wear that can affect handling.
Check the brake lines, specifically the offside front, to ensure they are clean, free of corrosion, and not covered in substances that might hide defects. You should also inspect the exhaust system, as it is a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data.
This 2008 Porsche 911 in Grey presents with 48,961 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 2,160 miles per year. While the recent 2026 MOT was passed with no defects, the 2025 record highlighted specific concerns regarding shock absorber bushes, oil misting, and a corroded brake pipe. Despite these past advisories, the vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record over the last five years.
The Porsche 911 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.8% across 56,325 analysed vehicles, though exhaust and brake pipe issues are common failure points.
