Expert verdict
Tyres: 3.8× the national share
Tyres make up 75.0% of everything recorded on the 2022 Porsche 718 Spyder, against 19.8% nationally — 55.2 points above. Check all four tyres yourself, including the inner shoulders, and look at the date stamp — a tyre can pass on tread and still be six years old.
- Beats its own age and mileage. Once you allow for how old and how far these cars have been driven, the expected pass rate is 92.0% and this one manages 96.7% — 4.7 points ahead of what its age and mileage predict.
- When it fails, it costs. Only 0% of this model’s typical repairs come in under £30 in parts — the failures here tend to be the kind that need a garage rather than a bulb.
