Our Verdict
Recommended for its clean MOT history and low mileage for a 20-year-old vehicle, though its age requires careful inspection of mechanical integrity.
Prioritise verifying service history to confirm consistent maintenance, as Porsches require specialist attention. Negotiate based on the vehicle's age and potential for higher repair costs. Check for rust or corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, which can be common in older German cars. Be cautious of unexplained mileage increases between MOTs, though this vehicle shows steady growth. Confirm the VIN matches the registration to avoid fraud.
Petrol fuel economy for the 3.6L engine averages 25-30 mpg, leading to £1,000-£1,200 annual fuel costs at 7,000 miles. Tax is £155 annually (cars registered before 2017). Insurance groups for Porsches are typically high (likely Group 30+), costing £1,500-£2,000 yearly. Major maintenance (e.g., timing belt, suspension) could exceed £1,000, with annual servicing around £500-£800. Estimated total running cost: £3,500-£4,500.
Focus on the engine and transmission for signs of wear, as 20-year-old Porsches may develop oil leaks or gear issues. Check brake discs and pads for thickness, as the 911's performance nature can accelerate wear. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, common in older vehicles. Verify the VIN against the chassis number to confirm no accident history. Test drive for unusual noises or handling issues, which could indicate suspension or alignment problems.
This 2006 Porsche 911 has maintained a clean MOT record with no defects in its last five annual tests, covering 56,348 miles. The vehicle's mileage is below average for its age, suggesting careful ownership. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the 911 model, the absence of MOT failures indicates good maintenance. The silver colour and 3.6L petrol engine are typical for this era.
No aggregate MOT data available for the PORSCHE 911 model, so reliability cannot be assessed using this metric.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2006 model year cars.
- Bore Scoring (Gen 1)Serious
The Lokasil/Alusil cylinder liners degrade, causing the piston to score the walls. Eventually requires a full rebuild.
- IMS Bearing (997.1)Serious
While the 997.1 uses a larger bearing than the 996, early 2005 models still use the smaller bearing. Later 997.1 cars use a larger, more robust bearing but failure is still possible.
- Cracked Ignition Coil PacksModerate
The coil packs on 997 engines are prone to cracking and failing, causing misfires. A relatively inexpensive fix but common across all variants.
