2020 Porsche Taycan 4S 93KWH Electric · DV16 AAA

A pattern of recent tyre wear advisories marks the most recent inspection on 19 September 2025, suggesting a shift from the clean record seen in 2024. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, the presence of both nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges indicates a potential change in the condition of the front axle consumables. This transition from a defect-free 2024 result to the current advisories suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-related components require closer monitoring. The recorded mileage of 43,724 miles over approximately six years equates to an annual average of roughly 7,287 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical long-distance or mixed-use patterns for a vehicle of this age and does not indicate excessive heavy-duty operation or long periods of stationary storage. Mechanically, this steady accumulation suggests that wear on consumables such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres will be progressive rather than sudden, and the vehicle has likely been subjected to regular road use rather than being left idle. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the front axle during a test drive to investigate the cause of the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 advisory. Uneven wear on the edges of the front tyres can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment, worn suspension bushings, or issues with the steering linkages. During the test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces and check for any pulling to one side when the steering wheel is released on a level road. Any sensation of steering vagueness or vibration through the steering wheel could indicate that the underlying cause of the tyre wear needs addressing. Given the recent advisories, a thorough inspection of the front tyre tread depth and overall condition is necessary to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit. While the 2024 record showed no defects, the recent focus on the front tyres means the buyer should also verify the remaining life on the rear tyres and check for any signs of unevenness there as well. Ensuring the wheel alignment is within manufacturer specifications will be critical to prevent premature replacement of any new tyres fitted following the purchase.
