2006 Porsche Boxster 3.2L Petrol · X1 FAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in August 2025 at 36,774 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a significant mechanical failure just one week prior to that pass. In July 2025, the car failed immediately due to a fractured nearside front coil spring. This was clearly rectified as evidenced by the subsequent pass with no recorded defects, indicating the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,839 miles per year. The data shows long periods of minimal use; for instance, the car covered only 239 miles between April 2021 and April 2022, and a mere 1,844 miles over the two-year gap between April 2022 and July 2024. This low-usage pattern suggests the car sits stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals despite low mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and seals to account for this age. The 2024 test flagged a non-excessive oil leak and under-inflated tyres, which are common symptoms of a vehicle that sits for long intervals. Given the fractured coil spring in 2025, the entire suspension assembly and rubber bushings should be checked for corrosion or dry rot. Additionally, the tyres should be inspected for flat spots or age-related cracking, as two decades of low-distance driving often results in uneven wear even when tread depth remains sufficient.
