2017 Porsche 911 3.0L Petrol · UK17 GTS

The most recent MOT on 18 November 2024 returned a clean pass with no defects recorded, a clear improvement over the previous test on 18 May 2023 when all four tyres attracted advisories. The near-side and off-side front tyres showed cracking and perishing in the central tread, while both rear tyres were worn to the legal limit on the inner edges with the central tread also nearing the limit. That pattern points to a suspension geometry or alignment issue rather than simple neglect, and the clean result eighteen months later suggests the tyres were replaced but the underlying cause may persist. At nine years old the car has covered only 18,990 miles, an average of roughly 2,110 miles per year which is very low for a 911. Only two test records are visible, leaving a gap of eighteen months between the 2023 and 2024 inspections. Such low annual mileage often means long periods standing, which accelerates rubber degradation and promotes brake disc corrosion, yet the recent pass shows no advisories for discs, pads or structural corrosion. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension geometry closely — the inner-edge wear on both rear tyres in 2023 is a classic signature of excessive negative camber or worn control-arm bushes. Verify that the current tyres match in brand, age and tread depth, and check the front tyres for any fresh cracking. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or lip formation caused by extended storage, and confirm the exhaust system is free from internal condensation rot. A four-wheel alignment printout and a thorough bush inspection will reveal whether the 2023 wear pattern has been corrected or merely masked by new rubber.
