AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2002 Porsche Boxster presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent passed MOT on 30 July 2025 at 152,439 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with clean passes in 2024 and 2023 alongside the latest result. Two failed tests on the same dates as passes in 2023 and 2025 show no defects logged, indicating administrative rejections or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 152,439 at the July 2025 test reflects an average annual use of roughly 6,352 miles since 2002, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the April 2023 test at 149,206 miles and the July 2024 pass at 151,840 miles the car covered only 2,634 miles in over fifteen months. A modest 599 miles was added in the year to July 2025. The sparse record shows no advisories or consumable wear flags across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 152,000 miles of service. The Boxster's mid-engine layout places cooling and exhaust components under structural stress that MOT sheets may not capture when no defects are listed. Check for corrosion at chassis mounting points and inspect the rear subframe for structural integrity. Verify the hood mechanism and drain tubes, as Boxsters of this era commonly suffer water ingress the MOT record would not flag. Confirm the 2023 and 2025 failures were clerical, not concealed mechanical rejects.
