2020 Porsche Taycan 4S 93KWH Electricity · W1 JPM

The Taycan 4S presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 20 January 2026 at 41,283 miles, resulted in a pass, confirming the vehicle met all safety and emissions standards at that time. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures. The only defect noted across the entire history is a minor advisory regarding the offside front tyre sidewall, which was flagged in the January 2026 test. This indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high standard, with no evidence of worsening or unresolved issues. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear and typical for a six-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2024 test at 21,059 miles and the January 2026 test at 41,283 miles, the car covered approximately 20,224 miles over two years, averaging just over 10,000 miles annually. This is slightly above the overall lifetime average of 6,880 miles per year, suggesting a period of more regular use in recent years. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record that would indicate prolonged periods of inactivity or unregistered use, providing a continuous and verifiable service history. The sole recurring theme in the MOT record concerns the offside front tyre. A structural bulge was identified and rectified in January 2024, followed by a separate advisory for sidewall damage in January 2026. While both were minor and resolved, this pattern suggests the wheel may be susceptible to kerb damage or pothole impacts, a common issue on low-profile performance tyres. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for fresh cuts, bulges, or uneven wear, and check the wheel rim for any signs of deformation or kerbing damage that could compromise tyre integrity. Beyond the tyre advisory, the clean MOT record means there are no documented concerns regarding the braking system, suspension components, or structural corrosion. However, as with any high-performance electric vehicle, a pre-purchase inspection should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, which can suffer from surface corrosion if the car is used predominantly for short trips. The suspension bushes and coil springs should also be checked for wear, given the vehicle's performance capabilities and the stresses placed on these components. The battery health and charging functionality remain outside the scope of the MOT and require separate specialist diagnostics.
