2018 Porsche 911 3.0L Petrol · DK18 SOJ

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the vehicle's MOT history, with the most recent test on 16 January 2026 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The record shows a stable trend of compliance over the last five years, though it is punctuated by recurring advisories regarding the presence of undertrays and component covers. While these advisories do not constitute failures, they indicate that certain structural or mechanical areas were obscured from the inspector's direct line of sight during the 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low usage profile for its age, having covered only 12,503 miles since its inception. This equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 1,563 miles, which is significantly below standard UK driving averages. Mechanically, such low mileage suggests minimal wear on high-friction components like brake discs, pads, and tyres, but it also implies the vehicle has spent considerable periods stationary. For a high-performance vehicle, extended periods of inactivity can lead to specific issues such as tyre flat-spotting or the drying out of rubber seals and suspension bushes, which should be verified during a physical inspection. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the recurring advisory regarding the undertrays and engine covers. Because these components were noted as being fitted during multiple tests, a thorough inspection is required to ensure that any potential fluid leaks, such as oil misting from the engine or coolant weeping, have not been masked by the protective shielding. During a test drive, listen for any irregular splashing or dripping sounds when the vehicle is stationary, and check for any scent of burning oil once the engine reaches operating temperature. Furthermore, the low annual mileage necessitates a close examination of the suspension and braking systems to ensure components have not seized or degraded due to lack of movement. On the road, pay attention to any sudden steering pulls, vibrations through the brake pedal when decelerating, or unexpected knocks and rattles when traversing uneven surfaces. Given the 2022 advisory regarding a child seat obstructing a belt inspection, ensure that all seatbelt pretensioners and mechanisms operate smoothly and are free from any physical obstructions or damage.
