2004 Porsche Boxster 3.2L Petrol · WU04 CZX

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status based on the most recent recorded data. While the car maintained a clean record between 2017 and 2019, the failure in August 2021 at 104,645 miles indicates a decline in maintenance standards. The tester flagged an exhaust lambda reading outside of specified limits alongside a fluid leak in the front windscreen washer system. Given that the last test occurred nearly five years ago, the vehicle is long overdue for an MOT and requires a comprehensive mechanical assessment. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,757 miles per year. Data shows consistent annual usage between 2017 and 2021, with the odometer climbing from 91,952 to 104,645 miles. However, the significant gap in records since the 2021 test suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods. Low mileage on older Porsche often leads to degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown, which presents risks not captured by the mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the exhaust system and oxygen sensors, as the previous failure suggests potential engine management issues or sensor fatigue. The reported washer bottle leak also necessitates a check for cracks in the plastic reservoir. Because the vehicle has been untested for years, a physical inspection of the brake calipers, suspension bushings, and tyre lines is essential to identify corrosion or seized components. Checking the structural integrity of the chassis for rust is also vital, as low-use vehicles often suffer from hidden surface oxidation when stored in damp environments.
