2004 Porsche Boxster 2.7L Petrol · AE04 KMJ

The 2004 Porsche Boxster presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at 124,816 miles on 8 November 2025. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the two prior annual passes in November 2024 and July 2023 also carried no advisories. The only blemish is a fail on 31 October 2024 at 123,247 miles, which the DVSA log shows with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The owner cleared it twelve days later with a full pass at 123,255 miles. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,673 miles across the 22-year life, which is low for a sports car of this age. The records show gentle accumulation: 117,607 miles in July 2022, 121,098 in July 2023, then 123,255 by November 2024. The car added only 1,561 miles in the year to the November 2025 test. Such low use over long intervals suggests the Boxster spent periods stationary, a pattern that often hides perished rubber components and fluid degradation not captured in a pass-only MOT. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or failing brake discs at the examined points. For a 2004 mid-engined roadster, the lack of structural corrosion notes is a positive sign, though MOT inspections do not strip panels. A buyer should still confirm underbody condition, check the rear subframe mounts, and verify the condition of the coolant and brake fluid given the low annual use. The October 2024 fail with zero defects points to a documentation issue, not deferred maintenance. The clean run since then implies the previous keeper kept the car to test standard. Inspect the hood mechanism and drainage channels in person, as Boxster 986 bodies rot in the sills if blocked drains are left unchecked.
