2010 Porsche Boxster 3.4L Petrol · YJ10 TTF

Verdict for the 2010 Porsche Boxster (88,858 mi) The most recent MOT (30 April 2026) was passed, but it highlighted damage to both front MacPherson strut mountings. The damage is described as “not seriously weakened,” yet the top‑mount bushings are already noted as compromised. This is the latest sign of a developing front suspension issue. Looking back over the last four years, a clear pattern emerges around the front suspension and brake pipe corrosion: - 2025‑03‑05: Slight play in both front lower‑arm ball joints. - 2024‑03‑22: Corroded brake pipes on the front left and rear right, plus wear on rear lower‑arm pins and a front outer‑arm pin. - 2023‑03‑15: Front brake discs were worn/pitted and the rear inner‑arm pins showed wear. These recurring comments indicate progressive wear of suspension bushings, ball joints and related pins, together with some brake‑system corrosion. The front strut mount damage reported in 2026 can be seen as the next step in that same wear chain. While each individual defect has not yet been judged unsafe, the cumulative trend suggests the suspension is moving from “slight play” toward more serious degradation. Trend assessment: The condition is worsening rather than stable.
