2002 PORSCHE BOXSTER3.2L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a consistent roadworthiness status, though the record reveals a clear pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent test in July 2023 at 67,527 miles passed despite multiple minor advisories related to the exhaust system and braking components. While the car remains legally roadworthy, the recurring nature of exhaust clamp issues and pitted brake discs suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they reach an MOT advisory threshold rather than as part of a scheduled service. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Between August 2019 and July 2023, the car covered only 3,040 miles, indicating it is likely kept in storage or stationary for long periods. This low usage explains the slow wear on consumables like tyres, but it significantly increases the risk of surface corrosion on unmoving metal surfaces and the degradation of rubber seals, which aligns with the persistent brake pitting and leaks noted throughout the history. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs have appeared in every test since 2019. The low mileage suggests these components are sitting long enough to develop rust rather than wearing down. Additionally, the exhaust system requires close attention for structural integrity and leaks, as the missing clamps noted in 2019 reappeared in the 2023 report. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, an inspection of the suspension bushings and rubber hoses is vital, as these components often perish from age regardless of the distance driven.
