Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- PDK Distance Sensor FailureSerious
An internal sensor in the PDK gearbox fails, rendering the car undriveable. Porsche dealers typically quote £20,000–£30,000 for a full gearbox replacement as they do not repair internal parts. However, UK specialists like Ninemeister and Zuffenhaus can now repair the unit by replacing the faulty component with an upgraded T-Design9 sensor.
- Cracked Ignition Coil PacksModerate
The coil packs on 997 engines are prone to cracking and failing, causing misfires. A relatively inexpensive fix but common across all variants.
