Before you view it
The Porsche 718's most common MOT issues, turned into things to ask about or look for.
Ask for the date and mileage of the last disc replacement; visually check for a deep wear lip and rust pitting on each disc.
Check tread depth across the full width on all four; uneven wear suggests alignment or suspension issues.
Check the car’s number plate on MOT Wise to see its own MOT history and any recalls for its build years.
Inspect for chips and cracks in the wiper sweep area (Zone A) — these will fail an MOT.
