Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S A?

This 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS S-A has a first-time MOT pass rate of 75.9%, which sits 4.1 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a modest shortfall suggesting slightly more frequent teething issues than typical. The 2.5% dangerous defect rate is well within acceptable bounds, so safety concerns are minimal for prospective buyers.

These cars are averaging just over 10,500 miles per year, which is entirely normal for their age and consistent with a well-maintained sports car in active use. The 0.06 average failures per vehicle and 0.3 advisories per vehicle indicate that when MOT time comes around, defects are rare and usually minor—meaning if you're buying one, a pre-purchase inspection by a Porsche specialist is more important than the MOT data itself, given the complexity of the platform.
