2004 Porsche Boxster 2.7L Petrol · LA04 MBO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and component degradation. In the most recent test in May 2025 at 108,601 miles, the tester flagged a pitted front inner brake disc and a corroded offside rear brake pipe. While the car passed, the persistence of brake-related advisories across multiple years suggests that components are only being addressed when they reach a point of failure rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 108,601 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,936 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns, with only 1,453 miles driven between the June 2024 and May 2025 tests. This low mileage often correlates with vehicles sitting for extended periods, which can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and surface oxidation on metal, explaining the recurring structural rust issues noted in the record since 2021. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity, as corrosion has been a constant advisory for the last five years. The noted offside front play in the steering rack inner joints from 2023 indicates that the steering geometry is experiencing wear that requires monitoring. Furthermore, close attention should be paid to the braking system; the repeated mention of pitted discs and corroded piping suggests that the hydraulic lines and hardware are nearing the end of their functional life, requiring a comprehensive overhaul to ensure long-term reliability.
