AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Porsche has 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 12,235 miles. The vehicle has been off the road for 15 years, with a 24-year-old vehicle and a 5,182-mile annual usage that is highly suspicious.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 393 miles/year before Sep 2023, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, and a 24-year-old vehicle with no valid MOT.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2025-08-08; vehicle has been off the road for 15+ years.
  • Mileage of 393 miles/year before Sep 2023 is extremely low and suspicious.
  • Recurring major failures in lights, emissions, and brakes across multiple tests.
  • Engine oil advisory recurring in 2024, 2023, and 2022 tests, indicating an unresolved issue.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last pass in Aug 2024.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases after the initial low period.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
