2022 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Electricity · CF72 LSC

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 8 July 2026 recorded a full pass with no defects noted, and the preceding test on 10 December 2025 also returned a clean result. With two consecutive successful examinations and no advisory items, the maintenance record to date appears stable and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria. There is no indication of a deteriorating trend, and the absence of recorded faults implies that any servicing or repairs have been timely and effective. At four years old the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo has logged only 9,556 miles, equating to roughly 2,389 miles per annum. This is considerably below the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age and points to either very light daily use or periods of extended stationary storage. Low annual mileage reduces wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension components, but it can also mean that the high‑voltage battery and ancillary 12 V system have spent a proportionate amount of time at idle, which may affect electrolyte balance and battery cell ageing. The modest mileage does not raise concerns about component fatigue, but it does warrant attention to time‑related degradation. For an electric vehicle of this vintage, the primary time‑based items to verify are the health of the high‑voltage battery pack and the auxiliary 12 V battery. Request a recent battery management system (BMS) report or a dealer‑provided state‑of‑health (SOH) figure; a SOH above 80 percent is typical for a four‑year‑old Taycan. On the test drive listen for any unusual whine from the inverter or a reduction in regenerative braking efficiency, which can signal inverter cooling issues or battery cell imbalance. Inspect the 12 V battery terminals for corrosion and confirm that the battery has been regularly topped up or replaced in line with Porsche’s service schedule, as a weak auxiliary battery can affect electronic stability controls and interior electronics. Even with low mileage, the tyre sidewalls should be examined for age‑related cracking or hardening, as rubber can perishes after six to ten years regardless of use. Check that the tyre tread depth is uniform and that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors are functional, as incorrect pressures can mask wear patterns. Inspect the suspension bushings, coil springs and anti‑roll bars for any signs of corrosion or dry rotting, especially if the car has been stored for extended periods; any clunk or uneven response when rolling over bumps could indicate deteriorated bushings. Finally, verify that the brake discs and pads have not suffered from surface rust due to inactivity; the regenerative system reduces mechanical wear, but occasional hard braking should have been performed to keep the discs clean. A visual inspection for surface rust, uneven pad wear or a pulsating feel under braking will help confirm that the braking system remains in optimal condition.
