2003 Porsche Boxster 3.2L Petrol · V1 VLT

The Porsche Boxster presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass recorded on 2026-06-10 at 109,148 miles. That most recent test is just six days old, meaning the vehicle has effectively been certified as defect-free for the current calendar year. The maintenance trend over the last five years is clearly positive, with the only recorded advisory resolving itself before the subsequent test. Mileage accumulation tells a story of light but consistent use. Between June 2022 and June 2026, the car covered roughly 8,956 miles across four test cycles, averaging about 2,240 miles per year. The annual increments are remarkably steady: 2,538 miles between 2022 and 2023, 2,136 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 2,472 miles between 2024 and 2025. There is no evidence of long-term storage or sudden high-mileage bursts. At 23 years old with 109,148 miles, the Boxster has covered only about 4,746 miles per year overall, placing it firmly in the low-mileage category for its generation. A buyer should still approach the inspection with a critical eye. The 2024 test flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on their inner edges, a classic sign of tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes and top mounts. Although the advisory did not reappear in 2025 or 2026, the underlying geometry may have been corrected or simply not deteriorated enough to trigger another flag. Check the inner sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear and have the four-wheel alignment verified. Given the car's age and low annual mileage, inspect the underside carefully for corrosion on subframes, sills, and suspension pickup points. Standing vehicles often develop surface rust on brake discs and calipers that can lead to binding or uneven braking. The rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism on Boxsters of this era are particularly prone to sticking, so a road test should include a gentle roll after braking to confirm the wheels spin freely. Suspension components, especially the front lower arms and rear trailing arm bushes, deserve close scrutiny for perishing, even if the MOT record shows no current defects.
