2007 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · MG57 MGS

The 2025‑09‑30 MOT passed the 2007 Porsche 911 at 34,086 miles, confirming its current roadworthiness, yet the record shows a clear worsening trend of recurring faults. The September 2025 test listed corroded near‑side front coil spring and shocker, worn rear brake pads, and corroded brake pipes on all corners, while earlier tests repeatedly flagged suspension arm bush wear and coil spring corrosion. These repeated advisories indicate that the vehicle’s mechanical condition has deteriorated rather than improved. The vehicle is 19 years old with a recorded mileage of 34,086, averaging about 1,800 miles per year, which is low for its age. Mileage has risen steadily from 24,523 miles in 2015 to 34,086 in 2025, with no large gaps, suggesting consistent use, yet the low annual average points to extended periods of standing that likely accelerated the extensive brake pipe and suspension corrosion observed. A buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly, checking the near‑side and off‑side coil springs, shock absorbers, and suspension arm pins and bushes for corrosion, cracks, or excessive play, as these have been repeatedly noted as worn but not causing excessive movement. The brake system requires close examination of all steel brake pipes, flexible hoses, and caliper‑to‑hose connections for rust, as well as measurement of pad thickness, since thin pads and corroded pipes have been recurring advisories. Finally, the tyres must be examined for tread depth, sidewall cracking and edge wear, given that previous tests recorded tyres worn close to the legal limit and a near‑side front tyre with exposed cords. The chassis and undertrays should also be inspected for structural rust, especially around the rear and front where undertrays were fitted, to confirm that corrosion has not compromised structural integrity before purchase.
