Used Porsche Taycan inspection before you buy

Inspecting a used Porsche Taycan before you buy
Our patch is Budapest and the towns around it. You give us the address of the Porsche Taycan; the car inspector comes to that address, so the car is assessed exactly where you found it.

Why a pre purchase inspection of the Porsche Taycan matters
The seller has lived with the Porsche Taycan; you've seen it for twenty minutes. That imbalance is exactly what an independent inspection corrects, so your decision rests on evidence rather than first impressions.
An inspection also protects what you'll recover later. The Porsche Taycan's future resale rests on its true condition, so establishing that now guards both the price you pay and the price you'll get.
What we check on the Porsche Taycan
Every inspection covers the same core systems - engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, electronics, body and structure - plus a diagnostic scan and a road test where the seller allows it. On top of that, we tailor the check to the powertrains this model is sold with:
For an electric Porsche Taycan, we assess battery state of health and degradation, charging performance, the condition of the high-voltage cabling and connectors, and how the regenerative braking and thermal management behave.

Porsche Taycan inspection - frequently asked questions
I haven't chosen a car yet - can you advise which to inspect?
We inspect whatever you're seriously considering. If you're still between options, book the Porsche Taycan inspection for the front-runner and go from there. Our blog buying guides also rank reliable petrol, diesel and electric choices, so you have a sensible shortlist to start from.
When and how do I pay for the inspection?
You book in advance and pay for the Porsche Taycan inspection per our agreed terms, and there are no hidden add-ons. The price you see for the package is the price you pay. We confirm everything with you before the appointment, so there are no surprises on the day.
Will I get the result in writing?
Yes, always. You receive a written report on the Porsche Taycan - handed to you in person on the Standard Inspection, or sent by email with photos and video on the Digital Report Package. Nothing important is left as a verbal aside; if we found it, it's in the document you keep.
Can you check the battery health of an electric or hybrid car?
Yes. On an electric or hybrid Porsche Taycan we read the battery state-of-health data, test charging and inspect the high-voltage system, so you understand the most expensive component before you buy. Battery condition does more to set an EV's real value than mileage does. We also check the 12-volt battery and the cooling, which are easy to overlook but matter.
What kind of faults do you usually come across on a used Porsche Taycan?
A used Porsche Taycan can be a genuinely sound purchase, provided the few areas that typically cause expense have been checked rather than taken on trust. On an EV the brakes often wear little but can stick from underuse, so alongside battery state of health and charging we confirm the brakes, tyres and 12-volt battery are all in order. Being a regular electric road car, the typical wear is in the suspension and tyres and the small cosmetic and electrical niggles that come with daily use, rather than in any engine or gearbox. On a premium German electric car the costs live in the details: the electronics, the adaptive or air suspension where fitted, and the high-voltage battery and charging system, all of which we check rather than assume are healthy. Nothing here is guesswork: every point is checked on the actual car and written up, in English, so you can act on facts rather than a feeling.
I was looking for mobile pre purchase auto inspection - can you help with that?
Absolutely. mobile pre purchase auto inspection and onsite mechanic Budapest point to the same thing here - an English-speaking car inspector checking the Porsche Taycan before you buy. We come to the car anywhere in Budapest and its agglomeration, so you don't have to move it. You receive a clear written verdict in English at the end.
