Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a Porsche 911 enthusiast, provided the service history matches the clean MOT record. The low mileage and lack of recorded defects make this a strong candidate for further inspection.
While the MOT history is clean, an MOT certificate only confirms the car met minimum legal standards at the time of testing; it does not confirm mechanical perfection. For a high-performance 3.8L engine, you must verify that the scheduled Porsche maintenance intervals have been strictly adhered to, regardless of the low mileage.
When negotiating, ask for a detailed breakdown of all work carried out. Given the model's aggregate data shows common failures in exhaust and brake pipes, check specifically for any evidence of recent work in these areas, even if not flagged as a failure on this specific vehicle.
Running a 3800cc Porsche 911 involves substantial costs. Expect high fuel consumption typical of a large-capacity petrol engine and high insurance groups. Tax bands for this engine size are also at the upper end of the scale.
Maintenance costs are significantly higher than a standard hatchback. While the MOT history shows no current defects, you should budget for premium parts and specialist labour. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance, would likely sit in the higher brackets for a performance vehicle.
Focus your inspection on the areas identified in the wider model aggregate data: the exhaust system and brake pipes. Although RE18LBF has had no recorded defects, these are statistically common failure points for this model type.
Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres and brake components. With a vehicle that has covered relatively low mileage (22,439 miles) over eight years, rubber components may be aging due to time rather than wear. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear which could indicate suspension or alignment issues.
This 2018 Grey Porsche 911 (RE18LBF) has covered 22,439 miles since its first registration in May 2018, which is significantly lower than the model average of 2,156 miles per year. The MOT history shows four consecutive passes with no recorded defects or failures between 2022 and 2026. This specific vehicle presents as a low-mileage example of the 3.8L petrol variant.
The Porsche 911 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.7% across 56,249 analysed vehicles, though exhaust and headlamp issues are noted as common failure reasons.
