The wheeler dealers 993 - what happened to it?
Discussion
Repeat showing today of the episode where they paid £12k for a tatty turquoise 993 tip and sold it for £19500 in the end. It had a faulty varioram etc.
Using the DVLA mot history check and the other DVLA car check it shows the car still exists (N449XNC) but is currently untaxed and untested.
The mot history is very interesting, it was obviously clocked in 2014 when the mileage dropped from 161k to 144k at the following mot. It's failed every single mot prior to then and had work done to pass, plus the mileage history shows clear evidence of clocking.
The interesting thing I suppose is the programme first aired in 2014 by the look of it, so when did the mileage shenannigins happen and where is the car now?
Merely out of interest as it was a fairly good episode having owned a 993 varioram and the prices have rocketed since then. The car would be worth perhaps 30k now?

Are you certain its been clocked? I can't imagine anyone being put off by a 160k car would suddenly jump on a 140k car. Seems a silly amount to clock especially when the previous values have been recorded.
Might have been a speedo change (they break easily when reseting the ODO) OR some other MOT station f' up. I had someone ask me if my 1997 Mini was clocked as the mileage had been recorded -100k under the actual mileage because the ODO only records 5 digits!

check the online MOT history, two seperate readings way under the previous few years. i have no other feasible explanation. interesting part for me was it appeared to be refreshed in 201-14 period and aired in that era, but almost immediately sank without trace from tax/mot etc, and with 20k miles less.

Where is the ad? I can't find it online....
Wheeler dealer episode originally aired on 24 March 2014.
So i presume the MOT on 4 December 2013 @ 161,381 miles has been done by WD.
BTW, it has always been a manual car. You can watch the episode on dailymotion (image is mirrored). Just do a video search for "wheeler dealer 993" on google.
