2009 Porsche Boxster 3.4L Petrol · HJ09 LBU

This 2009 Porsche Boxster shows an exceptionally low mileage of 29,944 miles, averaging roughly 1,761 miles per year. While this suggests the car has spent significant periods in storage, such low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals rather than high-mileage mechanical wear. The MOT history indicates a stable trend following a period of minor maintenance. The 2026 test was a clean pass, which is encouraging. However, the 2025 and 2024 records highlight a recurring pattern of suspension-related issues, specifically involving worn bushes, split bump stops, and corrosion on the shock absorbers. These items are typical for a vehicle of this age where rubber components have perished due to time rather than heavy road use. The coolant leak and brake pitting noted in 2023 further support the risk that the car has suffered from sitting idle for extended periods. The overall condition appears to be improving after the repairs carried out following the 2025 failure. The lack of defects in the most recent 2026 MOT suggests that the previous suspension and lighting concerns have been addressed. When inspecting the vehicle in person, you should prioritise checking the suspension components for any signs of residual perishing or leaks, as these have been a consistent theme.
