1990 Porsche 944 3.0L Petrol · G490 FBL

The current roadworthiness status of this Porsche 944 is excellent, with the most recent test on 8 August 2025 resulting in a clean pass. The maintenance trend is highly stable, as the vehicle has successfully cleared two consecutive annual inspections without a single recorded advisory or failure. This indicates that the current keeper is likely maintaining the car to a high standard, addressing potential mechanical issues before they escalate into formal test failures. With a total of 148,514 miles accumulated over 36 years, the vehicle averages approximately 4,125 miles annually, which is modest for a classic sports car. The gap between the 2022 failure and the 2023 pass suggests a period of off-road storage or intensive remedial work, though the absence of recorded defects in the subsequent tests implies that any underlying issues were rectified effectively. The low annual usage pattern is typical for this marque, but it necessitates careful scrutiny for the effects of long-term standing, such as perished rubber seals or fuel system degradation. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills, as the MOT record does not account for cosmetic or hidden structural corrosion that may have developed during periods of inactivity. While the brake and suspension systems have performed well in recent tests, the age of the vehicle means that original components may be nearing the end of their service life regardless of the low mileage. Focus your inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes, the integrity of the brake lines, and any signs of oil leaks from the engine or transaxle, as these areas often suffer when a vehicle is not used regularly.
