Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Porsche Spyder Owners
These checks follow this Porsche Spyder's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Porsche Spyder.
-
leaks — “hydraulic brake callipers leaking”
Park on clean cardboard overnight. A few drips are an advisory; a steady patch under the engine, gearbox or a shock absorber is a fail. Have the source identified before the test rather than after.
Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Porsche Spyder. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
