2021 Porsche Taycan 4S 93KWH Electric · T22 GAR

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2021 Porsche Taycan 4S 93kWh was conducted on 23 October 2025, at which point the vehicle passed with no defects or advisories recorded. The previous test on 8 November 2024 also resulted in a clean pass with no defects noted. With two consecutive passes and no recorded advisories, monitors, or failure items, the official roadworthiness history indicates a stable and well-maintained trend. There is no DVSA evidence of progressive wear, recurring component concerns, or developing defects. While a clean MOT record is reassuring, it should be noted that the MOT scheme is a minimum standards check at the time of test and does not guarantee the condition of items between inspections, nor does it cover high-voltage battery health, drivetrain electronics, or manufacturer-specific systems. The recorded mileage of 24,186 miles over approximately five years equates to an annual usage of around 4,837 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Such low annual mileage typically indicates either occasional leisure driving, predominantly short journeys, or extended periods of standing. For an electric Porsche Taycan, low mileage reduces wear on mechanical braking components, suspension, tyres, and the single-speed transmission where applicable, but it introduces concerns related to standing. Periods of inactivity can lead to brake disc corrosion from moisture exposure without regular wiping action, potential caliper binding or seizure through infrequent operation of the sliding mechanisms, and premature ageing of rubber and polymer components that degrade with calendar time rather than mileage. Given the clean MOT record and low-mileage usage pattern, physical inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than wear-based service items. The tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing, cracking, or dry rot, as low-mileage vehicles often retain tyres with deep tread but compromised structural integrity due to age. Original or early-life brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion, light pitting, or lipping, and the calipers should be checked to ensure the slider pins and pistons operate freely without seizing. A thorough road test should include firm brake application from moderate speed to confirm smooth, even stopping without shudder, vibration, or pulling, as warped or corroded discs can produce pedal pulsation. Additionally, the driver should listen for any suspension clonks or knocks over speed humps and uneven surfaces, which may indicate perished or oxidised bushes, top mounts, or anti-roll bar links that have degraded through standing rather than wear. Finally, although the high-voltage traction battery does not degrade significantly from standing, the conventional 12V auxiliary battery is highly susceptible to failure through prolonged inactivity and shallow cycling, and its state of health and date code should be verified prior to purchase. Tyre age markings on the sidewall should be cross-referenced against the current odometer reading, as tyres older than six years should be replaced regardless of tread depth. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should be renewed on a calendar basis, typically every two to four years regardless of mileage, so confirmation of recent fluid exchange should be sought. Coolant systems, including those serving the power electronics and charging circuit, also benefit from time-based inspection. Given the vehicle's specification, a Porsche main dealer or specialist EV-trained technician should ideally conduct a pre-purchase inspection, including a diagnostic scan for any stored fault codes within the high-voltage system, driver assistance modules, and infotainment, areas not assessed during a standard MOT procedure.
