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

This 2012 Porsche has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 31,148 miles. This, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, makes the vehicle's true condition and reliability highly questionable.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 31,148 miles in 14 years (Jul 2018 to Oct 2025), with only 286 miles recorded in the last 14 months, indicating extremely low recent usage.

Things to check

  • Critical mileage anomaly: 31,148 miles in 14 years (Jul 2018 to Oct 2025), with only 286 miles in the last 14 months.
  • Recurring brake advisories (5 instances) across multiple tests, indicating a persistent wear item.
  • Recent MOT (Oct 2025) shows only 292 miles since Sep 2024, suggesting prolonged inactivity.
  • High insurance group (50) — extremely expensive to insure, making it a poor financial choice.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until October 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) — exceptional safety features for a 997 Turbo.
  • No major recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension.
  • Consistent annual mileage before 2025, suggesting regular use for its age.
