2009 Porsche 911 3.8L Petrol · EY09 NNB

The 2009 Porsche 911 holds a valid MOT certificate following its pass two months ago on 10 April 2026 at 83,405 miles, confirming baseline roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows a slight deterioration in consumable management over the last two years. While the vehicle passed cleanly in 2022, 2023, and 2024, the tester flagged multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit on the inner or outer edges during both the April 2025 and April 2026 inspections. This recurring advisory indicates a developing issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry rather than simple tread wear. Averaging roughly 4,900 miles annually over its seventeen-year lifespan, this chassis reflects a low-usage profile typical of a weekend sports car. The odometer readings show consistent but light annual accumulation, jumping from 64,566 miles in June 2022 to 65,512 miles in April 2023, before a more substantial increase of 8,147 miles between April 2023 and April 2024. Usage stabilized again with 4,448 miles added in the year leading to April 2025, and 5,298 miles covered prior to the April 2026 test. This sporadic driving pattern means the car likely spends long periods standing, which accelerates degradation of rubber components and brake seals despite the low overall mileage. A physical inspection must prioritize the front and rear suspension geometry to identify the root cause of the repeated edge-wear tyre advisories. The buyer should check the condition of the lower control arm bushes, track rod ends, and coil spring seats for wear or perishing, as degraded rubber will alter the camber and toe settings under load. Given the vehicle tendency to sit unused for extended intervals, the braking system requires close scrutiny for binding calipers, corroded brake discs, and deteriorated flexible hoses. Prospective owners should also verify the condition of the rear tyres, as the nearside rear was flagged for edge wear in 2026, suggesting the alignment fault extends beyond the front axle.
