Expert verdict
Identification: 11.4× the national share
Identification accounts for 20.0% of everything recorded on the 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster, against 1.8% nationally — 18.2 points above. Tyres are still the single largest share at 30.0%, but at 19.8% nationally that one is ordinary. A missing or unreadable VIN plate is an administrative failure — usually easy to fix, but it stops the test.
- 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 89.5% and this one manages 98.7% — 9.2 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.

Before your test
Three checks worth doing on a 2019 911 Speedster
These are not generic tips — they are the faults recorded most often on this exact model, rewritten as things you can check yourself. All three take about ten minutes and cost nothing.
-
Check the windscreen 1.3% of tests
“windscreen damaged”
Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.
-
Check the number plates 0.7% of tests
“registration plates missing”
Check both plates are present, legible and correctly spaced, with the postcode of the supplier and the BS AU 145e mark. A private plate in the wrong style is a fail before the car is even looked at.
Shares are the proportion of tests on this vehicle that recorded the item, so they overlap: one test can record several.
