2005 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · LJ55 WVM

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-10 recorded multiple brake pipe corrosion issues, exhaust leaks, and a transmission oil leak. These were also present in the prior MOT on 2025-10-03, which failed due to a Lambda sensor fault and recurring brake pipe corrosion. The pattern of brake pipe corrosion (front and rear, both sides) and transmission oil leaks has persisted since at least 2022, suggesting unresolved underlying issues. The vehicle’s low mileage of 101,327 miles over 21 years equates to ~4,825 miles annually, far below average. This could indicate infrequent use or prolonged storage, both of which may exacerbate corrosion, fluid degradation, and component wear. While lower mileage typically reduces mechanical stress, the recurring defects imply potential neglect or systemic vulnerabilities in the brake and exhaust systems. The trend shows no improvement—same issues reappear across multiple MOTs, with the 2025-10-03 failure highlighting a critical Lambda sensor problem, which may point to engine or emissions system faults. The transmission oil leak and brake pipe corrosion suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, possibly linked to exposure to moisture or inadequate servicing. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the brake system for persistent corrosion, leaks, and integrity, as well as the transmission for oil seepage. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks and structural integrity.
