2009 Porsche 911 3.6L Petrol · SF59 OYV

Most recent MOT (2025‑10‑24 – 58,405 mi) The car passed its MOT, but the report flags both front tyres as “worn close to legal limit / worn on edge”. No other failures were recorded, so the test was formally clean. Recurring mechanical pattern - Tyre wear – Every MOT from 2021 onward shows the front tyres (and, in earlier years, the rear tyres) at the legal tread limit. This indicates the tyres are being used to the end of their life and need replacement soon. - Front brake‑pipe corrosion – The same corrosion on both front brake pipes appears in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 reports. It is consistently described as “covered in grease or other material”, suggesting the pipes have been exposed to moisture and are not being replaced. - Brake disc condition – In 2023 the front discs were noted as “worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened”. The issue does not re‑appear in later reports, which may mean the discs were serviced or replaced after that inspection. - Shock absorber damage – A single note in 2023 about slight external damage to the off‑side front shock absorber was not repeated in later MOTs, implying it may have been repaired. - Coolant leak – A one‑off failure in the 2024 MOT, flagged as a coolant leak, has not been mentioned again, but it signals a potential weakness in the cooling system that should be checked.
