Our Verdict
Exercise caution when considering this P
Given the recent MOT failure in February 2026, any potential buyer should verify that the reported issues—specifically the front brake disc and the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint—were professionally rectified. You should request evidence of the work carried out to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards.
Negotiate based on the cumulative list of advisories. The recurring mention of oil leaks and exhaust gas leaks suggests these are long-standing issues rather than isolated incidents. Check the service history specifically for any mention of engine or exhaust repairs, as the MOT data indicates these problems have persisted across multiple years.
As a 3.4-litre petrol sports car, running costs will be higher than an average hatchback. Expect higher fuel consumption and insurance premiums typical for a high-performance vehicle in a significant insurance group.
Maintenance costs are likely to be substantial. The MOT history shows frequent issues with suspension components (bushings and pins), brake pipes, and exhaust systems, which are typically more expensive to repair on a Porsche than on standard commuter cars. An estimated annual budget should account for both routine servicing and the potential for more costly repairs related to the observed oil and exhaust leaks.
A thorough inspection of the braking system is essential. The MOT history has flagged corroded brake pipes (both front and rear) and worn or pitted brake discs across several years. Check that all brake lines are clean and free from excessive corrosion or grease coverage.
Inspect the suspension and engine mounts closely. The records show multiple instances of worn suspension arm pins/bushes and a worn rear engine mounting in 2024. Additionally, investigate the source of the recorded oil leak and the minor exhaust gas leak, as these have been noted in multiple consecutive tests since at least 2025.
This 2013 silver Porsche Boxster has covered 71,323 miles since its first registration in January 2013. The MOT history reveals a trend of increasing advisories and a failure in February 2026 due to worn brake discs and an anti-roll bar joint. Recent tests also highlight persistent issues with exhaust leaks, brake pipe corrosion, and oil leaks.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including exhausts, brake pipes, and headlamps.
