2016 Porsche Boxster 2.0L Petrol · WT16 DWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent data indicates a worsening trend in mechanical maintenance. While the Porsche passed its latest MOT in March 2026 at 68,356 miles, it failed the initial test due to multiple mechanical deplets. The appearance of offside play in the steering rack inner joints alongside front tyres worn close to the legal limit suggests that the previous owner is only addressing faults once they trigger a test failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 52,787 miles and March 2026 at 68,356 miles, the car covered 15,569 miles, showing steady usage. This relatively low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based parts, such as suspension bushes and seals, if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between drives. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering system to verify the extent of the play in the inner rack joints, as this is a significant safety concern that affects handling precision. The recurring mention of worn tyres on the edges in both 2025 and 2026 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not been properly rectified. Additionally, verify the nearside windscreen wiper assembly which caused the 2026 failure, and check for uneven wear across all remaining tyres to ensure the suspension geometry is not compromised.
