2004 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · RX04 AYZ

The vehicle holds a current valid MOT following the December 2025 examination at 100,522 miles, roughly six months prior to today. The immediate prior attempt on the same day resulted in a failure for split windscreen wiper blades and an over-adjusted handbrake. This pattern indicates a stable but reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive upkeep. The tester recorded only minor advisory-level items and a straightforward mechanical adjustment, suggesting the core chassis and powertrain remain serviceable. The progression from unblemished passes in September 2023 and September 2024 to these minor failures shows the owner addresses issues only when they reach the point of non-compliance. Recorded mileage sits at 100,522 miles across twenty-two years, averaging roughly 4,569 miles annually. The odometer shows consistent accumulation between each annual test, with approximately 4,700 miles added between September 2024 and December 2025, and nearly 5,000 miles covering the period from late 2023 to mid-2024. This steady usage pattern rules out prolonged standing as a primary factor, yet the low annual average means rubber suspension mounts, brake calliper slides, and drivetrain seals have likely experienced minimal thermal cycling and load stress. The absence of major defect flags across three consecutive tests confirms that high-wear components have not suffered accelerated degradation. A prospective purchaser should verify the condition of the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, which showed severe dust cover deterioration during the September 2024 test. Compromised protective covers allow abrasive grit to accelerate internal bearing wear, so the buyer must check for lateral play and listen for clunking over uneven surfaces. The repeated handbrake cable stretch noted in both the failed and passed December 2025 examinations warrants a full inspection of the rear parking brake mechanism and cable routing. Replace the windscreen wiper arms and blades before any long-distance travel, and confirm that the headlamp lens remains clear of residual cleaning products or film that could impair beam pattern alignment.
