I am looking at a 2006 997 C4S 50k miles. All good with the car, good history, and agreed on a deal, subject to pre inspection.
The photos from the pre inspection all came back clear apart from cylinder 6 - I attach the photo here (ignore the date stamp as was told they indie doesn’t keep batteries in the scope when storing, and then don’t reset the time and date…?!).
I have been told by the indie that this is very light scoring, and not uncommon in all 997’s at this mileage.
How worried should I be? The indie said in their report slight scoring (along with a few other minor points), and said it basically had a clean bill of health…
I am due to pick up tomorrow, hence the request for help…!
Thanks in advance all
Mark

Looks fine to me.
My 997 Turbo S had worse scoring that with just 2k miles on the clock. I ran it for 6 years, with minimal oil consumption and it turned out to be one of the best 911's I've had.
Stop worrying and enjoy the car! 😁

Thanks Clive!
This is my first 911, so just trying to make sure I go into it with eyes open. You aren’t the first to say I am over thinking this either!
 
Looks good. For longevity, my advice is to have the oil and filter changed annually, regardless of how few miles the car has done. If the car is being SORN'd over winter, time the change to be after the final outing before taking off the road.
 
Thanks, that is really useful (and good to hear!).
I am buying with a hardtop, so theory is it will get used all year round…🤞
