2016 Porsche Boxster 2.7L Petrol · AD15 JLD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 50,790 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though it reveals a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues. While the failure in June 2025 at 46,026 miles due to mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle was rectified quickly, evidenced by a pass just three days later, the history shows a lack of oversight regarding rubber components. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old Porsche, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2023 (32,220 miles) and October 2024 (41,987 miles), where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles. This low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components but frequently accelerates the degradation of rubber-based seals and tyres, which is consistent with the perishing noted in the most recent tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the tester flagged cracking and perishing on both front tyres in both October 2024 and May 2026. These defects suggest the vehicle likely sits for long periods, leading to dry rot despite adequate tread depth. Close attention should also be paid to the suspension bushings and brake hoses for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related material oxidation rather than mechanical friction. Checking the brake discs for pitting is also essential given the intermittent usage pattern.
