2021 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo Electricity · S12 CAM

The 2021 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo presents an immaculate DVSA roadworthiness record, passing both of its recorded MOT tests on 2024-11-19 and 2025-11-14 with zero advisories or defects noted by the examiner. This is the cleanest possible outcome under the MOT scheme, meaning no components were flagged as worn, corroded, deteriorated, or approaching a failure threshold at the time of inspection. Given that the vehicle is now approaching its fifth anniversary, the absence of even minor advisories on suspension, braking, underbody, or structural integrity items is a strong indicator that the car has not been subjected to harsh road conditions or neglected maintenance between tests. The most recent pass in November 2025 confirms this stable, defect-free trajectory is ongoing. With 29,622 miles accumulated over approximately five years, the vehicle averages around 5,900 miles annually, a notably low figure for a premium performance estate. Such restrained usage limits wear on high-friction items like brake discs and pads, which suffer from low-speed corrosion when a car is infrequently driven hard, and it reduces fatigue loading on suspension components, wheel bearings, and driveshaft joints. The risk profile here is the opposite of a high-mileage example: rather than expecting wear-out items to be due, a buyer should be alert to the consequences of standing. Cold starts, infrequent thermal cycling of the braking system, and prolonged 12V battery inactivity can mask developing faults until the car is used more regularly. The mileage gap between tests is also worth scrutiny; the vehicle appears to have been first MOT-tested in late 2024, meaning its earlier years were either covered by exemption as a new registration or its usage was clustered toward recent activity. For a prospective buyer, the practical inspection priorities shift accordingly. On a test drive, listen carefully for any rubbing, grinding, or clicking from the front and rear axle assemblies over bumps and during full-lock manoeuvres, as Taycan lower control arms, thrust arms, and anti-roll bar bushes are known wear items that may not yet have appeared on MOT but can develop sloppiness under spirited driving. The brake pedal should feel firm and progressive from the first application; any excessive travel, sponginess, or a binding sensation after release could indicate a sticking caliper or hydraulic issue, both of which can manifest on lightly used cars. Pay particular attention to the feel of the regenerative and friction brake transition, as Porsche regenerative systems can occasionally produce inconsistent pedal response if there is underlying friction material glazing. Inspect the underbody and wheel arches carefully for any surface corrosion on suspension arms, subframe mounting points, and brake pipe runs, even though none was flagged on the MOT. Check the condition and evenness of tyre wear across all four corners, as misaligned geometry or uneven pressures from storage periods can produce stepped shoulder wear. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers body control modules and ignition sequencing, should be tested for resting voltage and cranking performance, particularly if the car has stood for extended intervals. Finally, request evidence of recent Porsche main dealer or specialist servicing, especially for the high-voltage cooling circuit, air suspension struts if equipped, and brake fluid, as these are service items outside the MOT scope but critical to the long-term integrity of the Taycan platform.
