Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The May 2026 MOT records corroded brake pipes covered in grease, which is a known common failure point for this model; verify if these have since been replaced. Given the recurring advisories for perishing rear tyres across 2024, 2025, and 2026, check the age and condition of all rubber components.
The 2893cc petrol engine results in higher fuel consumption and a higher road tax bracket compared to smaller variants. Insurance costs will reflect the vehicle's performance category and luxury status, while maintenance for Porsche components typically commands a premium over standard hatchbacks.
Carefully inspect the outer brake pipes for corrosion, as highlighted in the 2026 MOT. Check the front suspension arm ball joints for play and ensure the coil springs are intact, following the fractured spring failure recorded in 2024. Examine the rear tyres for cracking or perishing, as this has been a persistent advisory for three consecutive years.
This 2011 black Porsche Boxster has recorded 83,376 miles, which is significantly higher than the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history reveals a failure in June 2024 due to a fractured coil spring and a pattern of advisories regarding perishing rear tyres and suspension ball joint play. The most recent test in May 2026 specifically flags corrosion on both the front and rear outer brake pipes.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 86.4%, with brake pipes and exhaust systems identified as top failure reasons.
