2009 Porsche Boxster 2.9L Petrol · SM09 DRZ

The vehicle has failed its most recent MOT on May 22, 2026. This failure is critical, as it involves multiple severe safety defects within the braking system that render the car dangerous to drive in its current state. There is a clear and worsening trend regarding the brakes. In 2024, a rear brake pipe was noted as corroded. By May 2026, the braking system had deteriorated significantly, with a nearside brake pipe now leaking and at imminent risk of failure, alongside insufficient brake pedal reserve travel. This indicates a pattern of neglect or progressive decay rather than proactive maintenance. Other recurring issues include oil leaks, which were recorded in both 2024 and 2026. The presence of pitted and worn rear brake discs, combined with previous reports of corroded exhaust fixings, suggests that the vehicle is suffering from general age-related wear and environmental corrosion. The recorded mileage of 103,106 miles is typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. This suggests regular use, which means the engine has likely avoided the pitfalls of long-term standing, but it also confirms that many high-wear consumables and hydraulic components are reaching the end of their natural lifespan.
