2022 Porsche Taycan 4X2 Electric · HAY 335S

The Taycan’s most recent MOT, conducted just nine days ago on 9 October 2025 at 25,313 miles, passed without any defects—a clean outcome that aligns with the vehicle’s prior test three days earlier, which also showed no faults despite failing for administrative reasons. This suggests the car’s core mechanical and structural systems were in sound condition at that point, with no recurring issues to indicate worsening wear or neglect. The absence of advisories or minor defects in both tests implies that routine maintenance—such as fluid checks, tyre condition, and electrical systems—has been addressed promptly, or that the vehicle has been stored or used lightly enough to avoid accumulating significant wear. For a four-year-old electric vehicle with this mileage, such a clean record is uncommon and points to either meticulous upkeep or very limited use. The mileage of 25,313 miles over four years—roughly 6,328 miles annually—is well below average for a Porsche, suggesting either infrequent driving, extended periods of inactivity, or a secondary-use vehicle. The near-identical mileage between the two MOTs (25,310 to 25,313 miles) over a three-day span further reinforces this, as it rules out any recent heavy usage or rapid deterioration. Without earlier MOTs, it’s impossible to confirm whether this low mileage is a long-standing trend or a recent development, but the data available does not suggest any mechanical stress from high usage. Buyers should verify if the vehicle has been garaged consistently, as prolonged storage—especially in damp conditions—can still lead to hidden issues like seal degradation or battery management system quirks, even without high mileage. Given the complete absence of defects or advisories in the MOT history, there are no obvious red flags for immediate mechanical failure. However, a prospective buyer should still inspect the suspension components—particularly the coil springs and bushings—since electric vehicles like the Taycan can develop stiffness or uneven wear over time, even with low mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven pad wear, as electric vehicles can suffer from regenerative braking heat buildup if the car has seen any recent use. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the Taycan’s build quality, but a close look at the underbody for corrosion or fluid leaks (coolant, brake fluid, or high-voltage system fluids) is prudent. Finally, the battery cooling system and thermal management should be reviewed, as these are critical to long-term EV health and can degrade silently if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods.
