Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The MOT conducted on 24 November 2025 at 33,918 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates an improvement over the 2023 test where mechanical and glass issues were noted, suggesting the current owner has proactively addressed identified faults to bring the car back to standard. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old Porsche, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2024, the vehicle covered only 7,060 miles, reflecting consistent low-intensity use or long periods of storage. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids which do not manifest through mileage alone. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the windscreen, as the record shows recurring stone chips and damage across 2021, 2022, and 2023. Although the 2023 test at 31,402 miles flagged thin front brake pads, the lack of advisories in subsequent tests suggests these were replaced. Given the low usage, the brake calipers should be checked for seizing or binding due to inactivity, and suspension bushes and tyres should be inspected for cracking or dry rot which often occurs on vehicles that sit for extended periods.
