2001 Porsche Boxster 3.2L Petrol · 3456 UP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 19 May 2026 at 72,581 miles. This recent result indicates that the maintenance trend is improving after a significant period of mechanical neglect in early 2025. While the car failed its test just one month prior due to multiple failures involving the exhaust, brakes, and tyres, the subsequent pass without recorded defects suggests these specific issues were addressed. The vehicle has returned to a stable state of compliance for the time being. At 25 years old, the mileage of 72,581 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with only 600 miles covered between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests and roughly 500 miles between April 2024 and May 2025. This low-frequency use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear and tear from friction. The long intervals between tests suggest the car may sit for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the rear exhaust system for signs of recurring corrosion or poor repairs, as the 2025 failure noted a major leak, an insecure system, and corroded clamps. The braking system requires close attention; the history shows a fluctuating offside service brake in 2024 followed by low parking brake efficiency and pitted brake discs in 2025. These recurring issues suggest the calipers may be seizing or the discs are rusting due to low use. Additionally, the previously worn rear anti-roll bar bush noted in 2024 indicates that suspension bushings should be checked for cracking or perishability, given the vehicle's age and low mileage.
