The only results from the car were via LCN (as there was insufficient DNA), which isn't used in Portugal.
Rebelo did get the car boot bits retested by the INML when the PJ got them back.

Subject: Request for Forensic Examination
I am delivering the following to you, a component covered with fibre and a plastic component, both extracted from the luggage boot of the Renault Scenic vehicle used by the parents of Madeleine McCann, material which has already been examined by the forensic lab of the FSS in Birmingham, UK and which was returned to us, requesting your collaboration in the sense of proceeding to carry out the necessary examinations of the material in question, using the appropriate methodology, bearing in mind the detection of eventual biological vestiges that might not have been detected in the first examination that they were subject to.
With compliments
The Coordinator of the Criminal Investigation
Paulo Rebelo

There is only one result that I can find that seems to correspond to the PT test - and which did yield a full DNA profile...
Table 1 - Autosomic STRs of vestigios.
01-02 -OUTROS APENSOS I - volume II pages 284-299
Only it most definitely isn't Madeleine, as it's from a male. And the male isn't Gerry, as in some of the markers, neither allele corresponds to hers.
Don't know what happened there. Either the FSS missed it, or the boot piece got contaminated somewhere en route to the INML.
I don’t recall how many contributors of the DNA samples were taken from the car or the floor tiles. Over 3? If however, they shared some of Madeleine’s DNA It could make up to a complete DNA match for Madeleine, without her DNA profile ever being involved.
A waste of time to even consider the possibility of it being her DNA, in a mixed or degenerated sample, IMO.
Especially the car which would have many of the same DNA elements matching her profile, due to it being occupied by her parents, siblings and other relatives.
She had at least 1 gene from each of their parents and would share genes with the twins and relatives
I read about a person being sought in connection with multiple crimes where DNA results were obtained via mouth swabs……The DNA turned out to belong to someone who worked in the cotton swab factory.
Just pointing out the power of contamination as well.
