2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S Electric · GL70 WTP

The most recent MOT inspection conducted in August 2026 resulted in a pass, although it introduced two specific advisories that were not present in the previous three years of testing. Looking at the history from 2023 through 2025, the vehicle maintained a clean record with no recorded defects, suggesting a period of high-standard maintenance and component stability. However, the emergence of advisories regarding tyre wear and suspension components indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase of natural wear and component degradation consistent with its age and usage profile. With 39,487 miles recorded over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,581 miles per year. This represents a moderate and consistent usage pattern that avoids the pitfalls of extreme high mileage or the potential issues associated with very low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for long periods. This level of usage is generally favourable for a high-performance electric vehicle, as it suggests the battery and mechanical components have been regularly cycled without excessive strain on the drivetrain or suspension systems. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the two advisories noted in the latest report. The offside front inner tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear suggests either the end of the tyre's service life or, more critically, an issue with the wheel alignment or camber settings. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibration and check if the car pulls to one side under braking or acceleration. Furthermore, the advisory regarding slight play in the nearside front upper suspension arm ball joint is a significant mechanical concern. You should listen for any metallic clunking or knocking noises when navigating uneven road surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvres, as this indicates impending failure of the joint which will eventually compromise steering precision and require replacement to pass future inspections. Beyond the specific MOT advisories, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough physical inspection of consumables. Even with moderate mileage, check the sidewalls of all tyres for signs of perishing or cracking due to age-related rubber degradation. While regenerative braking reduces wear on the friction brakes, you should still inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or binding calipers, particularly if the car has been parked for extended periods. Finally, ensure that time-based maintenance, such as brake fluid replacements and coolant system checks, has been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as these are critical for the long-term reliability of a high-performance electric powertrain.
