2010 Porsche 911 3.8L Petrol · SB10 VCM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 2025-12-15 at 89,394 miles. However, the test revealed significant deterioration in the front drive shaft boots and nearside rear tyre tread, both of which were classified as dangerous defects. These issues, along with worn rear tyres and failing rear lighting, indicate a concerning decline in component integrity over the past year. The previous failure in June 2024 highlighted excessive play in track rod ends and non-functioning rear lights, suggesting a pattern of deferred maintenance. The mileage progression shows a relatively consistent annual average of approximately 5,587 miles over 16 years, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. There are no major gaps in the MOT history, though the most recent test occurred just six months after the previous one, indicating regular attention. The vehicle’s low mileage may reflect limited use or extended periods of storage, potentially masking wear in areas such as suspension bushes or brake components. Recurring issues with the front track rod ends and associated ball joints have been present since 2023, with increasing severity from slight to excessive play. These components are critical for steering geometry and should be inspected for wear or damage. The constant velocity boots on the front driveshafts were severely deteriorated in the latest test, representing a potential risk of driveline failure. Buyers should also check for corrosion around the rear wheel arches and suspension components, particularly given the age and mileage profile. Tyre condition remains a concern, with both rear tyres near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This suggests either misalignment or prolonged under-inflation, possibly due to lack of routine maintenance. The windscreen damage noted in 2023 and 2022 is non-critical but warrants visual confirmation. Structural integrity appears sound, but the presence of multiple advisory items and failed tests indicates inconsistent care. A full inspection of the suspension system, brake components, and electrical systems is recommended before purchase.
