Hello,
A few questions if you don't mind.
Am I correct by reading last major service was in 2022? so likely another due beginning 26 and that would coincide with the warranty extension?
There was an 111 point check done in 2022, was there a copy of the report?
The ceramic brakes, a big worry in terms of having to renew them if they're near end life, has there been any notes in previous history regarding this, disc measurement etc?
I see some stickers for tracks, can you confirm if you have tracked this in Europe/UK? Nothing wrong with that just good to know for bushes and suspension funds to be set aside.
Any little thing that doesn't work or need seeing to? i.e. blinds, locks, windows sticking etc
When was air con last re-gassed?
Many thanks, much appreciated.
Jason

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the questions. First let me assure you that the car has not been tracked by myself or the previous owner. The stickers that you can see are from the 3 times the car has been to Le Mans, but those were simply road trips. The three stickers in the rear doors are from 3 times we stayed at Travel Destinations at Porsche Curves, and the one in the rear window under the brake light is a sticker commemorating the centenary Le Mans race from 2023. They are all easily removed. The car also has a Crit'Air sticker in the front window which is kinda like a ULEZ sticker for driving in France.

You are correct, the next service is due at the end of January, and this coincides with the Warranty and Porsche Assistance anniversaries.

I've looked at my invoices folder and can't see a paper report of the 111 point check from 2022. I've got some notes from more recent work - missing screws on the undertray, which was remedied, and an issue with the rear spoiler drive which resulted in the spoiler drive being replaced under warranty.

I have asked about the PCCB disks condition when the car has been in to Porsche and they reported they were in good condition and should last the life of the car.

This car has all the toys, and as far as I am aware they are all working. I checked that stuff that I don't use often like the powered privacy blinds and auxiliary heater are working before listing the car. I did not test the built-in WiFi router, nor the car-phone as I didn't have a suitable SIM. I've also never used the Homelink feature for garage door opening.

I am sure I had the AC re-gassed at least once while I have owned it but can't find a receipt. The AC was working fine over the summer though.

Hi,
Was the last oil change also back in 2024 around the 99k mark? so nearly 12k done since last oil change or has one been done in between and not shown? thanks.

That's correct. The service interval is every 2 years or 20k miles.

There has never been a problem with any of those items during my ownership, and so not to my knowledge. Those would all be covered by the Porsche warranty I believe.
