2004 Porsche Boxster 3.2L Petrol · J5 DXR

The 2004 Porsche Boxster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 155,086 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations. Prior passes on 4 April 2025 at 146,507 miles and 11 April 2023 at 128,747 miles also logged no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown escalating mechanical faults across the observed period. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 22-year-old sports car. The record shows 128,747 miles in April 2023, rising to 136,907 miles by March 2024, 146,507 miles by April 2025, and 155,086 miles by April 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year, marginally above the 7,049-mile annual average. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a single failure entry on 19 March 2024 at 136,907 miles that carried no recorded defects and was immediately superseded by a pass on the same day, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage. The Boxster's mid-engine layout places strain on rear subframe mounts and track control arms, and 155,000 miles will have fatigued rubber components even where the MOT raised no advisories. Structural corrosion around the sills and floor pans warrants physical checks despite the absence of rust flags in the record. The same applies to exhaust emissions and catalytic converter condition, as a 2004 petrol drivetrain at this mileage may hide intermittent lambda sensor faults not captured during a single test window.
