Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S?

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 Taycan Turbo S?

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 Taycan Turbo S?

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.

Is the 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S reliable?

Based on MOT data from 188 vehicles, the 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S has a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.2%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S posts an 81.7% first-time pass rate, marginally above the UK average of 80%, which suggests broadly reliable early-life performance with no systemic issues emerging yet. The dangerous defect rate of 6.9% is comfortably low, so structural or safety problems are not a significant buyer concern at this stage.

These cars are running around 20,500 miles on the odometer at test time, which is perfectly normal for their age, and the minimal failure load—just 0.1 failures per vehicle on average—reflects the typical teething-free experience of a modern electric flagship. Before committing to purchase, have an independent Porsche specialist inspect the battery management system and cooling circuits, as these systems are costly if problems develop outside warranty.
