2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S-A 3.0L Petrol · LE23 DWA

The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 July 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. For a vehicle of this age and specification, a defect-free certificate is an excellent indicator of its current roadworthiness and suggests that the mechanical components inspected by the DVSA tester were within acceptable tolerances. The overall maintenance trend appears to be stable, implying that the vehicle has likely been subject to a consistent service regime that has prevented the emergence of common wear-related issues during its initial years of operation. The recorded mileage of 20,216 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 6,739 miles. This represents a moderate and healthy usage profile for a high-performance Porsche, sitting well within the typical range for a well-maintained enthusiast vehicle. This level of mileage is sufficient to keep internal engine components lubricated and prevent the buildup of moisture or carbon deposits often associated with very low-mileage cars, yet it is low enough that major drivetrain, suspension, and exhaust components should still be in excellent condition. There are no signs of rapid mileage accumulation that would suggest heavy or high-stress use. As the MOT history is currently clear, the physical inspection should focus on preventative checks and age-related degradation. You should carefully examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur even if tread depth is sufficient. Check for uneven tyre wear patterns that might indicate misaligned geometry or worn suspension bushes. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension over uneven surfaces and monitor the braking performance for any shuddering or pulsation, which could indicate warped brake discs or binding calipers. Additionally, it is vital to verify the full service history to ensure that all time-based maintenance intervals have been met, particularly regarding oil changes and brake fluid flushes, as these are critical for high-performance systems. Given the vehicle's age, check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure the Targa roof mechanism operates seamlessly without any hesitation or unusual mechanical noises. Finally, inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid weeping from the engine or gearbox and check the exhaust system for any premature corrosion or loose mounting points.
