2022 Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo Electric · NG71 KTC

A clean and unblemished DVSA record defines this 2022 Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo, with two consecutive MOT tests passing on 2024-11-04 and again on 2025-10-15, neither raising a single advisory or defect. The absence of recorded wear items on a four-year-old high-performance electric vehicle suggests the chassis, braking system, and underbody structure have not yet developed the component degradation that typically accumulates on performance cars of this age. Importantly, the fact that the 2025 test produced no advisories at all indicates that suspension components, brake discs and pads, tyres, steering linkages, and underbody protection have not yet reached the threshold where a tester would flag them for monitoring, pointing to either genuinely low wear or a vehicle that has been proactively maintained before issues became visible. Mileage stands at 36,409 miles over four years, equating to an average annual accumulation of roughly 9,102 miles. This sits comfortably within typical usage expectations for a premium electric tourer and suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than left dormant for extended periods or subjected to the kind of high-mileage motorway grind that accelerates component fatigue on performance models. The gap between the two recorded MOT tests spans approximately twelve months, during which the car appears to have covered a normal year's mileage. Mechanically, this regular pattern of use is beneficial for an electric powertrain, as it implies consistent battery cycling and thermal management activity rather than prolonged standing, which can compromise 12V auxiliary battery health and allow brake discs to corrode through lack of use. The relatively modest annual mileage also means that brake discs, pads, and tyres are unlikely to be approaching replacement thresholds, though these remain the consumable items most likely to demand attention in the next service interval. For a prospective buyer, the spotless MOT history provides reassurance, but it should not replace a thorough physical inspection focused on the Taycan-specific and Cross Turismo-specific areas that testers may not flag until wear becomes pronounced. On a test drive, listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front and rear suspension over uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the air suspension struts and lower control arm bushes, as adaptive damping systems can develop micro-leaks and bush compliance without yet triggering MOT failure thresholds. Evaluate the brake pedal for firmness and smooth travel, and listen for any binding or scraping from the brake calipers during low-speed manoeuvres, which can indicate seized slide pins or corrosion on the rear electric parking brake mechanism, a known concern on vehicles that see lighter use. Steering should feel precise and free of vibration or pull under braking, which would otherwise point to warped brake discs or uneven pad wear. Finally, although no structural or underbody corrosion advisories have been recorded, the Cross Turismo's raised ride height and touring remit mean it may have seen light off-road or poorly maintained road surfaces, so a visual inspection of the underbody protection panels, suspension arms, and brake pipes for stone chip damage or early surface oxidation is worthwhile. The regenerative braking system on this model reduces conventional brake wear considerably, but the friction brakes should still be inspected for pad thickness and disc lipping, as discs that sit idle can develop corrosion pitting that leads to judder under heavy braking. Check that all four tyres are of matching brand, size, and tread depth, as the Taycan's four-wheel-drive system is sensitive to rolling circumference差异 between axles. With the dashboard, verify that the high-voltage battery state of health reading, if available, aligns with the recorded mileage, and confirm that the charging port, cable, and onboard charger function correctly across both AC and DC inputs, as these are expensive components outside the scope of standard MOT testing.
