2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4s Auto

CarHunch is tracking 142 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4s Auto vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4S is failing MOT at an alarming rate: just 3.5% of the 142 vehicles tested passed first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. With zero dangerous defects recorded and zero average failures or advisories across the cohort, the issue isn't safety—it's likely teething problems with new-car systems, electrical gremlins, or emission-related faults that are common in young performance cars.

The median mileage of 5,602 miles confirms these are barely run-in vehicles, yet they're still racking up MOT issues despite minimal wear. Before committing to buy one of these, insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a Porsche specialist, as the high failure rate suggests inherent faults rather than owner neglect—and factor in potential warranty or dealer goodwill claims to resolve whatever is causing these systematic MOT rejections.

What to check before buying a 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4s Auto

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
