2004 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · NJ04 GDV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT tests reveal a stable but unusual pattern, with a clean pass in April 2024 followed by a duplicate entry in April 2025—one marked as passed and the other as failed, both at the same mileage of 69,503. No defects were recorded in any of the five tests spanning 2022 to 2025, suggesting the tester did not identify any major issues during those inspections. However, the duplicate entries at the same mileage in 2025 warrant scrutiny, as they imply either an administrative error or an oversight in the testing process. Without additional context, the absence of advisories or failures across these tests indicates no recurring mechanical concerns were formally documented, though this does not preclude hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 69,503 miles over 22 years—approximately 3,159 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Porsche 911’s tendency for higher usage. The mileage increments are consistent but sparse, with gaps of around 3,000 miles between tests, which could reflect either light usage or prolonged periods of storage. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or aggressive driving patterns, which might have accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. However, the low mileage does not guarantee longevity; critical elements such as coil springs, subframe mounts, and drivetrain seals may still require attention due to age-related degradation. Given the lack of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely checked in MOTs. Focus on the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and subframe bushes, as these are common failure points in high-performance vehicles of this age. The brakes, including rear binding calipers and warped discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Structural integrity is also critical—examine the sills, wheel arches, and subframe for corrosion, as rust can compromise load-bearing components. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter and downstream pipes, for leaks or excessive corrosion, which could affect emissions and structural stability.
