2022 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo Electric · FA57 TJT

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo was conducted on 16 April 2026, during which the vehicle passed and was deemed roadworthy. The only advisory raised at this inspection concerned an offside rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit, with the wear pattern specifically recorded on the shoulder or edge of the tyre. The previous MOT recorded on 14 April 2025 also resulted in a pass with no advisories or defects noted. While the absence of any failures or recurring advisories suggests a generally well-maintained vehicle, prospective buyers should note that the shoulder wear advisory on the rear inner tyre could indicate a tracking or geometry issue, particularly given the Taycan's wide rear axle and aggressive rear-wheel alignment specifications. Without an earlier MOT entry in the DVSA history shown, the maintenance trend appears stable, though the single advisory warrants close physical inspection during a viewing. With 15,344 miles recorded over an approximate four-year period, this Taycan averages around 3,836 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age and calibre. Such modest annual usage suggests the car may have spent considerable time standing rather than being driven regularly, which carries specific mechanical implications for an electric performance vehicle. Periods of inactivity can lead to premature ageing of certain components, even when overall mileage remains low. The low-mileage context should prompt buyers to investigate factors such as the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, brake disc corrosion due to limited use, and the general health of the high-voltage traction battery, which can degrade through calendar ageing regardless of mileage. Given the low annual usage and the fact that this is an electric vehicle, several practical physical checks are advisable during any viewing. Begin by inspecting the tyres closely, not only for tread depth but also for sidewall perishing or cracking, which can develop from age even on low-mileage tyres; the advisory regarding shoulder wear on the offside rear inner tyre should be investigated by checking the alignment and ensuring the replacement tyre is of the correct Porsche N-specification. Examine all visible brake discs for surface corrosion, as standing vehicles are prone to rust buildup that may cause brake shudder or binding calipers upon first use. The 12V auxiliary battery should be tested for state of charge, as prolonged standing can deeply discharge it, and verify whether any warning messages appear on the dashboard relating to high-voltage battery conditioning or reduced range capability. Additionally, verify the service history thoroughly, as Porsche recommends time-based servicing rather than purely mileage-based intervals for the Taycan, including coolant changes for the thermal management system, brake fluid replacement, and inspections of the air suspension system if fitted. Listen carefully during a test drive for any suspension clonks or unusual noises from the air springs or adaptive dampers, as these components are age-sensitive. Check the underbody and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the high-voltage cabling routes and the aluminium-intensive chassis components, and ensure all warning systems, including parking sensors and driver assistance features, function correctly. Finally, confirm the operation of all charging equipment and inspect the charging ports for any damage or contamination, ensuring the vehicle charges reliably on both AC and DC supplies as expected for a modern Porsche EV.
