2023 Porsche Taycan GTS Electric · CF72 VFD

A clean bill of roadworthiness on its most recent examination on 12 January 2026 defines this Taycan GTS at the time of testing, and with that being its only recorded MOT to date, there is no historical pattern of advisories, failures, or component deterioration to raise concern from the official record. Given that it is a 2023 model, this means the vehicle had not reached the three-year threshold for its first compulsory test until early 2026, so the single pass represents essentially a first checkpoint rather than a longitudinal track record. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories is reassuring but should be read in context: a relatively young, low-mileage performance EV is unlikely to present wear-related issues at this stage regardless. Recorded mileage of 20,947 miles over roughly three years equates to around 6,982 miles annually, which sits comfortably within typical usage parameters for a car of this age and prestige bracket. This is neither the kind of low-mileage figure that suggests prolonged periods of standing unused, which can be particularly relevant for an EV given 12V auxiliary battery health and brake disc corrosion, nor is it a high enough accumulation to imply heavy component wear on the drivetrain, suspension, or braking system. The mileage progression appears consistent and progressive, with no evidence in the record of unusual gaps or sudden jumps. For a vehicle of this specification, the usage profile is reasonable and does not flag any mechanical concerns arising from how it has been deployed. From a buyer inspection perspective, the lack of any advisories means there are no specific components flagged for follow-up, but a test drive should nevertheless focus on the areas most likely to show early wear on a Taycan of this age and mileage. Listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension, particularly over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as the multi-link front geometry with its air suspension struts and control arm bushes is the most likely source of any developing issue. Steering should remain precise and free of vibration or pulling, while the air suspension itself should rise and settle smoothly without any audible compressor cycling under static conditions. Brake pedal feel should be firm and consistent, though expect light initial bite given the heavy regenerative calibration, and on the road verify that the rear discs rotate freely without binding, since even moderate annual mileage combined with regen-heavy driving can lead to surface corrosion on the rear discs that may eventually cause judder under hard braking. Visually, a thorough pre-purchase inspection should look closely at the underside, particularly the subframe mounting areas and the aluminium suspension components, for any signs of oxidation or surface corrosion, as well as the high-voltage charging port and cable for any physical damage. Inspect all four tyres for even wear across the tread, as Taycans are sensitive to alignment deviations given their weight and rear-steer configuration, and verify that the wall thickness of the brake discs is within Porsche tolerance. Finally, given that this is an electric performance vehicle, a full diagnostic scan via a Porsche-specific tool such as PIWIS is strongly recommended to confirm no fault codes are stored in the battery management, power electronics, or chassis control systems, as none of these areas are assessed during an MOT but represent the most consequential mechanical considerations for this powertrain.
