Our Verdict
A solid option for a mid-engine sports c
When inspecting this specific black Boxster, focus on the service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOTs from 2024 to 2026 show no defects, an MOT is a minimum standard test and does not confirm the mechanical health of the 2687cc engine or the mid-engine components.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 95,542 miles, it is a higher-mileage example for its age. Ask for evidence of major interval services, particularly regarding the timing components and suspension, which are critical for this model's performance and longevity.
Running a 2.7L Porsche involves higher-than-average costs. Expect a higher insurance group due to the performance profile and a petrol-heavy budget given the engine size. Tax bands for a 2006 2687cc model are typically mid-to-high range.
Maintenance costs for a Boxster can be significant. While the MOT history hasn't flagged recent failures, specialist parts and labour for Porsche models generally command a premium compared to mainstream brands. An estimated annual budget should account for both fuel and a contingency for specialist servicing.
Given the model aggregate data, pay close attention to the anti-roll bars and headlamps, as these are common failure points for this vehicle type. Although this specific car has not failed on these items recently, they remain known weak points in the wider Boxster population.
Check the windscreen wipers and the condition of the rubber seals, as wiper issues are a top failure reason for this model. Additionally, because this is a mid-engine car, inspect the area around the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks that might not be captured in a standard MOT inspection.
This 2006 Porsche Boxster (WKZ2012) is a 2.7-litre petrol model with 95,542 miles on the clock. The MOT history shows a recent period of stability, with three consecutive passes and no defects recorded since late 2023. While it has covered more mileage than the model average of 2,299 miles per year, the recent testing trend is positive.
The Boxster shows an average MOT pass rate of 86.2% across 37,831 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to wipers, anti-roll bars, and headlamps.
