2000 Porsche Boxster 2.7L Petrol · S7 CRB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 126,443 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, following a brief failure in early 2025. While the car previously struggled with minor issues related to tyre pressure and a faulty beam tell-tale, the subsequent pass six months later indicates the owner addressed these immediate safety concerns to maintain a clean operating standard. At 126,443 miles, the Boxster reflects low mileage for its twenty-six years, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows a significant deceleration in usage recently, with only 89 miles recorded between the January 2025 test and the December 2025 test. This pattern of very low-frequency use suggests the vehicle may have been stored or left stationary for extended periods. Such behavior on an older Porsche often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry, which are not always captured by the MOT tester. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension assembly. In November 2023, the tester flagged the nearside front shock absorber for reduced damping and oil misting. Although the vehicle passed later tests, the buyer should verify if the shock absorber was ever actually replaced or if the leak has progressed. The non-excessive oil leak noted in 2023 also warrants a close look at the engine seals and sump area to ensure the low mileage has not caused seals to dry out and fail. Given the low annual mileage, checking for perished suspension bushings and corrosion on the brake lines is essential to ensure the car remains mechanically sound for immediate use.
