1990 Porsche 944 3.0L Petrol · DWF 326

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently passing, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-02 failing to meet safety standards. This is the first time the tester has flagged a binding rear brake pad, a condition that has not been addressed since 2022. The failure to pass the 2025 test at 55,608 miles indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a full period of basic upkeep since the last MOT, which is a significant risk factor for structural integrity. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct gap between the vehicle's age and its accumulated wear, with the tester noting that the vehicle has only been tested at 55,077 miles in September 2023. This lack of testing at 55,608 miles suggests that the vehicle has been driven for approximately 1,545 miles per year, which is a high rate of consumption for a car of this age. The rapid accumulation of miles since the previous MOT indicates that the vehicle has likely been driven for over three years without a full check-up, which could expose critical components to fatigue and corrosion. In conclusion, the vehicle is currently roadworthy but carries a high risk of failure due to the lack of maintenance and the presence of binding brakes. A buyer should inspect the rear brake system and suspension immediately, as the binding pads and worn disc are the most immediate hazards. Given the age of the vehicle and the lack of recent MOTs, the vehicle is likely to fail a roadworthiness test within the next 12 to 18 months if the current condition is not corrected.
