Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

Too new to rate yet — worth knowing

Got a specific Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

This 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S-A has a perfect 100% first-time MOT pass rate across 461 vehicles tested—20 percentage points above the UK average—with zero dangerous defects recorded and no vehicles accumulating failures or advisories. The fleet averages just 11,076 miles, which is extremely low for vehicles now entering their second year of testing, suggesting either very light use or that most haven't yet completed their second MOT cycle.

With zero average failures and advisories combined, these are pristine examples so far, but the low mileage means real-world durability remains unproven; focus your pre-purchase inspection on brake fluid condition and whether the clutch shows signs of stress if considering a manual, as these are common weak points on high-performance Porsches when driven hard.

We have 461 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data yet to show reliable statistics — as a 2023 model, most vehicles won't have reached their first MOT test date.
