That's not enough to keep the bearings lubricated. That's if they are driving it regularly. Most like this don't. They take it out once in a while. Boxsters like to be driven. And driven hard. Not left to rot in the garage. Its tragic what people have done with these great little cars.
An example of the glaring hole in your theory is my rainforest green/savanna beige 2001S. It has less than 12K miles on it and is absolutely perfect. Every time I have it out, someone approaches me to find out if it might be for sale. Oh yeah, it is also one of the very first dual row cars retrofitted with an IMS Solution outside of Jake’s shop.

Not all low mileage cars are the same............
