AI verdict AVOID 22/100

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 25 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 13,571 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record and unexplained low usage, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low annual usage (e.g., 115 mi/yr before Jan 2018, 149 mi/yr before Jun 2019) with a significant jump to 13,819 mi/yr before May 2012, indicating potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Aug 2022) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring brake system failures: Multiple brake disc and hose advisories/failures across 6 tests (e.g., May 2010, Aug 2019, Mar 2021, Aug 2022).
  • Recurring tyre failures: Multiple tyre advisories/failures across 5 tests (e.g., Jun 2019, Aug 2019, Mar 2021, Aug 2022).
  • Unexplained low mileage: Usage of 4,298 miles/year is significantly below UK average, raising fraud concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027 — current roadworthiness certification.
  • No recent MOT failures — last failure was in August 2022, indicating some recent repairs.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2025) — highest safety rating for a 2004 vehicle.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory: While suspiciously low, the mileage readings are consistent and show no gaps or reversals.
