1999 Porsche Boxster 2.5L Petrol/gas · S986 CTC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted in June 2026 at 168,711 miles resulted in no defects, continuing a streak of perfect passes dating back to 2022. This trend suggests a high level of proactive maintenance by the current owner, as previous mechanical issues appear to have been addressed before they escalated into test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 27-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year. Between July 2019 and June 2026, the car covered 5,857 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage rate rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commuting. There is a notable gap between 2018 and 2019 where the vehicle covered over 8,000 miles, but the subsequent annual records indicate the car remains in regular use, which helps prevent age-related component degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and engine seals, as the 2021 test at 164,624 miles flagged play in three anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and a non-excessive oil leak. While these were resolved to pass, the rubber bushings and seals on a Boxster are prone to wear at this mileage. The history of an oil leak necessitates a close look at the engine block and timing cover areas to ensure no significant weeping or the previously non-excessive leak has since developed. The record also shows a 2017 failure for excessive exhaust noise and a 2014 failure for an SRS warning lamp, both of which have since been rectified. Given the lack of advisories regarding structural corrosion or brake components in the recent years, the chassis integrity appears well-preserved. However, the buyer should still verify the condition of the exhaust system and the functionality of the airbag sensors to ensure these past faults remain fully corrected.
