I have just spoken to the OPC, who performed the full 111 point PPI. The 1 & 2 levels are not a problem, and Porsche would provide a warranty with those present. Likewise, the level 4 is not a problem as it occurred almost 400 hrs ago. They would however, require that 200 hours had elapsed since the level 3 ignitions, before Porsche would provide a warranty. So far, we have just over 100 hours. They would also require a pressure loss & compression loss test, and I am waiting for them to come back to me with a price for this. It's pretty likely that I will drive it for a further 100 hours before selling it, which would take it past the 200 hour requirement, making it easier to sell. The OPC said it's a lovely car, and the PPI threw nothing else up. I have asked them to clarify with the technician, whether it's had a new DME, or whether the average speed has been 87 mph. I can't even see a track car managing that. So there we are. If it passes these further tests, I'm keen to buy the car. It appears that over-rev recordings are extremely common on these cars. The dealer will provide a 6 month warranty as well, including all major engine components. Yes it could have had further over-revs in the past, but these will be over 430 hours ago, and even if in 5 or 6 ranges, would be warrantied by Porsche if compression/leak down tests were satisfactory.
