2005 Porsche Boxster 2.7L Petrol · KE05 HGD

The vehicle presents a clean MOT certificate as of the 12 May 2026 test at 128,367 miles, with no defects recorded. This follows a period of significant mechanical volatility between 2018 and 2025. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement, moving from a history of frequent failures regarding suspension and braking components to a clean pass in the most recent inspection. While the 2025 tests flagged persistent issues with oil leaks, coolant leaks at the front of the engine, and pitted rear brake discs, these specific faults were not present in the latest 2026 record, suggesting recent remedial work has been carried out. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,113 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 84,457 in July 2016 to the current 128,367 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which is beneficial for maintaining rubber seals and preventing fluid stagnation. The steady progression of mileage indicates a vehicle that is driven regularly rather than sitting idle. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay and underside due to the long-term presence of oil and coolant leaks. Although the May 2026 test was clear, the history of non-excessive oil leaks and front-of-engine coolant leaks suggests these are recurring characteristics of this engine. The tester also flagged various suspension issues over several years, including worn ball joint dust covers, track rod end play, and deteriorated anti-roll bar linkages. Even though these passed recently, the recurring nature of these faults implies the suspension components undergo significant stress. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. The record shows a persistent pattern of pitted and scored rear brake discs dating back to at least 2019, alongside historical issues with corroded front and rear brake pipes. While the most recent test was successful, the history of corrosion and disc wear suggests the buyer should check for any signs of binding calipers or surface degradation on the discs and pipes. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres, as previous tests frequently flagged perishing sidewalls and inadequate tread depth.
