PORSCHE BOXSTER2005 · 2.7L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and shows a clear trend of improvement following a period of significant mechanical neglect. The most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 157,902 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the previous failure regarding high headlamp aim was rectified immediately. This follows a volatile period during the May 2024 testing window where the car failed multiple tests related to the braking system, emissions, and exhaust integrity before achieving a pass. At a recorded 157,902 miles, the Boxster has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a sports car of this age. The data shows a consistent interval of roughly 9,000 miles driven between May 2024 and June 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is being used regularly, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the high total mileage places considerable strain on the rubber-based suspension and drivetrain components typical of a twenty-year-old chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and hydraulic components. The records from May 2024 highlighted widespread corrosion and leakage on the nearside front and offside front brake pipes, alongside a dangerously detached nearside rear pipe that was catching on the wheel arch. While these were reportedly repaired, the buyer should check for residual fluid weeping, perished hoses, or inadequate securing of the metal brake lines. The previous failure of the engine management system and high lambda readings also suggests that the oxygen sensors and exhaust manifold should be monitored for ensure no intermittent faults remain.
