Intermediate shaft bearing (IMS) replaced in 2024 by a recognised Porsche specialist
Single registered previous owner
Complete service history, with maintenance at Porsche Centre and independent specialists
Full Porsche PIWIS diagnostic confirming the vehicle's good overall condition
MOT valid until June 2028
What makes it unique
With its naturally aspirated 3.2-litre flat-six producing 252 bhp, the Porsche Boxster S (986) offers far more than just an entry point into the Porsche world. Thanks to its mid-engine architecture, it benefits from remarkable balance and handling characteristics that still set the benchmark today. In S guise, it gains in performance and driving pleasure, making it one of the most sought-after variants of the first-generation Boxster.
This example, presented in an elegant black configuration with grey interior, is reported to have had just one previous owner. It comes with a particularly comprehensive service history, including work carried out at both the Porsche Centre and recognised specialists.
One of the main points of concern on 986 Boxsters is the IMS bearing. On this car, it was replaced in August 2024 at 87,071 km by specialist LJ Motorsport, with invoice to support. At that time, numerous preventative and maintenance works were also carried out.
A full Porsche PIWIS diagnostic and analysis of the Bosch Motronic 7.2 engine control unit confirmed the absence of any faults, mileage tampering or harmful over-revving. The recorded data testifies to regular and consistent use throughout the vehicle's life.
With an MOT valid until June 2028 and a particularly reassuring mechanical history, this Boxster S Tiptronic appears to be a carefully maintained example ready for immediate use. image.png461.42 KB
