2009 Porsche Boxster 2.9L Petrol · E3 BEG

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 confirmed the vehicle passed with several tyre and brake-related issues. The nearside and offside front tyres showed cracking or perishing, while both rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit. Rear brake discs were pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. These findings align with earlier reports of tyre damage and brake wear, suggesting ongoing maintenance needs. A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and brake disc wear is evident across multiple MOTs. The 2025-03-08 test noted similar tyre damage, and the 2023-10-24 failed MOT highlighted a coolant hose leak and a non-functional engine MIL. While the 2026 MOT did not repeat these specific issues, the persistence of tyre and brake problems indicates potential long-term wear or maintenance oversight. The vehicle’s low mileage of 60,313 miles over 17 years (roughly 3,548 miles annually) suggests lighter use, which could reduce wear on moving parts but may accelerate ageing of static components like tyres and rubber seals. However, the absence of major mechanical failures in recent tests does not confirm improved condition—only that issues have not yet escalated to critical levels. The trend shows stable but persistent concerns, particularly with tyres and brakes.
