1986 Porsche 924 2.5L Petrol · D773 PEV

The 1986 Porsche 924 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 6 February 2023 at 25,068 miles with no defects recorded. The test immediately prior, on 2 February 2023 at 25,057 miles, returned a failure with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or unrecorded non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven fail. No advisories or worsening patterns appear across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 25,068 miles against an approximate 40-year lifespan, equating to roughly 627 miles per year. The DVSA data shows minimal accumulation: 24,535 miles on 27 January 2022 rising to 25,057 by 2 February 2023, a gain of 522 miles in just over twelve months. Such low annual use across a long gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests suggests extended standing periods. The sparse, clean record gives little basis to judge consumable wear or structural condition. A buyer should physically inspect the 924 for age-related corrosion on structural panels and suspension mounting points, as forty years of storage or damp standing invites rust unseen in a clean MOT sheet. The tester flagged no binding calipers, worn bushes, or exhaust issues, but the February 2023 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation of the exact rejection cause from the seller. Check brake discs, coil springs, and tyre sidewall cracking before purchase. Low mileage hides little if the car sat unused; perished rubber and seized handbrake mechanisms are common on dormant classics. The record implies careful, light use by prior keepers, yet no test verifies mechanical integrity beyond the stated dates.
