1982 Porsche 911 3.0L Petrol · UMM 45Y

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record suggests intermittent maintenance rather than consistent preventative care. The most recent test in March 2022 at 107,077 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a non-functional offside rear indicator and insufficient washer fluid delivery. Since that entry, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT for over four years, meaning the current mechanical state and structural integrity are unverified and likely degraded due to age and inactivity. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 44-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Data shows a significant discrepancy between the October 2018 test at 114,404 miles and the July 2020 test at 106,955 miles, indicating either an odometer inconsistency or a long period of storage with reverse mileage. The low mileage since 2022 suggests the car has been used sparingly, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake fluid despite the low mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain. A buyer must prioritize a structural inspection of the front boot floor, where the tester noted corrosion in 2020. Given the age of the Porsche, this rust may have progressed into the sills or structural floor pans. The oil leak identified in 2020 requires a close-up inspection of engine seals and gaskets to ensure it has not worsened. Furthermore, because the vehicle has sat for years since its last MOT, the suspension bushings, brake lines, and tyre sidewalls must be checked for cracking and seizing, as these are common failure points on low-mileage classic vehicles.
