Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution regarding t
When inspecting this vehicle, you must prioritise a full mechanical health check by a Porsche specialist. The recurring oil leak noted in the 2024 and 2025 MOT records requires professional investigation to determine its source and potential severity, as this is a known area of concern for older 911 engines. Ensure you verify the service history to see if these leaks have been addressed or merely monitored.
Furthermore, check the alignment and suspension geometry. The repeated MOT failures for inner-edge tyre wear suggest that the car may have tracking or camber issues that have not been fully resolved. Negotiate the price based on the potential need for suspension bushes or arms, which are common failure points for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Running a 3.8-litre Porsche 911 of this vintage is a significant financial commitment. Fuel consumption will be high, and as a 2007 vehicle, it sits in a high VED tax bracket. Insurance premiums will also be substantial due to the vehicle's performance profile and repair costs.
Maintenance costs for this model are higher than average. You should budget for premium-rated tyres, as the vehicle has shown a history of tyre-related failures, and specialist servicing is essential. Expect an estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, to be in the region of £3,500-£5,000, depending on annual mileage and unexpected repairs.
Begin your inspection by looking closely at the tyres. The history shows multiple instances of tyres worn to the cords or near the legal limit, often on the inner edges. This is a critical safety issue and a clear indicator of potential suspension or wheel alignment problems that need immediate correction.
Underneath the vehicle, check for signs of the oil leak mentioned in recent MOT tests. While the tester noted it was 'not excessive', any oil leak on a high-performance engine like this should be treated as a potential long-term risk. Additionally, inspect the shock absorbers, as the 2024 test noted light misting of oil on the nearside rear, which can be a precursor to a full failure.
This 3.8-litre Porsche 911 has covered 79,413 miles since its registration in July 2007. The vehicle has accumulated multiple MOT failures over the last two years, specifically concerning tyre condition, suspension components, and oil leaks. While it currently holds a valid MOT certificate, the frequency of these issues suggests that significant maintenance may be required to keep the car roadworthy.
While the 911 is a performance icon, aggregate data shows that older models frequently face MOT failures related to suspension components and lighting, which is consistent with the issues seen here.
