2007 Porsche 911 3.8L Petrol · LC07 PXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred minor component repairs. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 77,651 miles, it failed just one day prior due to a split nearside front drive shaft CV boot. Despite this failure, the offside front inner track rod end and the front upper Macpherson strut bushes have remained as advisories in every annual test since 2022. This suggests a pattern of addressing faults only when they reach inspection thresholds rather than performing preventative suspension maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded 77,651 miles represent a low average running rate of approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage profile often correlates with age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear from high-mile. The 2024 test at 73,628 miles highlighted significant tyre perishing and cracking across multiple axles, which is a hallmark of a vehicle that sits for extended periods. The recurring mention of rear brake disc corrosion since 2022 further indicates that components are experiencing surface oxidation despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The track rod ends and Macpherson strut bushes are documented to have developed play and will likely require replacement to restore handling precision. The nearside front CV boot must be inspected to ensure the recent repair was effective and to prevent grease leakage from the drive joint. Additionally, the rear brake discs show a history of pitting and scoring; the thickness and surface condition of these discs should be verified to ensure the corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity beyond the inner surface.
