2002 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · EW02 ADW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention to minor defects. While the car passed its March March 2026 test at 108,384 miles, it carried forward two advisories that were also present during the November 2024 inspection. The persistence of these issues suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where non-safety-critical items are ignored between tests, despite not currently preventing an MOT pass. The mileage profile is remarkably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage over the last five years, for example, only 403 miles were recorded between October 2021 and November 2022, and a mere 522 miles between November 2024 and March 2026. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or fluids oxidizing if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer must focus specifically on the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint, which has been flagged as having severely deteriorated in both the 2024 and 2026 tests. This dust cover failure will allow moisture to enter the joint, leading to premature wear and potential handling instability if not replaced. The inoperative central rear registration lamp also requires attention to ensure legal compliance. Given the age and low usage, a physical inspection should also check for corrosion on the under chassis and cracking in the suspension bushings, as these often fail due to time rather than mileage on vehicles of this era.
