2004 Porsche Boxster 3.2L Petrol · MX04 XOD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs and reactive maintenance. While the car passed its October 2024 test at 91,465 miles, this followed a significant failure just two weeks prior at 91,127 miles. The record indicates that the owner addressed a major exhaust leak, a worn suspension arm ball joint, and lighting issues to achieve the pass. The recurring presence of brake corrosion and suspension corrosion suggests that components are only replaced when they fail inspection rather than through a preventative schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,158 miles per year. There is a distinct gap in records between December 2021 at 82,592 miles and July 2023 at 83,205 miles, representing fewer than 600 miles driven over 19 months. This low annual usage often correlates with the vehicle sitting for extended periods, which explains the pitting and scoring on the brake discs and the corrosion on brake pipes noted across multiple tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The tester consistently flagged corroded brake pipes on the offside and nearside front in 2024, which poses a risk of fluid loss if the corrosion has bled through. The front shock absorbers have been noted for external casing damage and corrosion since 2023, and these should be checked for oil leaks or structural failure. Furthermore, the parking brake has only just met the minimum efficiency threshold since 2023, indicating the mechanism is nearing the end of its adjustment range and likely requires professional attention or component replacement.
