1985 Porsche 924 2.0L Petrol · C116 CFG

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent test conducted on 14 August 2024 resulting in a pass. While the history shows immediate re-tests following initial failures in both 2023 and 2024, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than mechanical failures. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has successfully cleared its annual inspections without any recurring technical advisories or component failures noted by the testing stations. With a recorded mileage of 53,529 over forty-one years, the vehicle averages approximately 1,306 miles per annum. This exceptionally low usage profile suggests the Porsche has spent significant periods in storage or restricted use. While low mileage often preserves drivetrain components, it frequently masks issues related to long-term inactivity, such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or fuel system degradation. The consistency of the mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2024 indicates the car has been exercised regularly in recent years, which is a positive sign for the health of the engine and ancillary systems. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not fully captured by the MOT testing process. You must check the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans for corrosion, as older vehicles of this era are prone to hidden rust in the sills and battery tray areas. Inspect all cooling hoses and fuel lines for signs of cracking or hardening due to age, regardless of the clean test record. Given the low annual mileage, verify that the timing belt has been replaced within the appropriate time interval, as rubber components degrade regardless of distance covered. Prioritise a thorough examination of the suspension bushings and steering rack gaiters, as these rubber elements often deteriorate during long periods of dormancy.
