Taycan
Porsche · on record 2020 to 2025
The Porsche Taycan is the marque's first series production battery electric sports saloon, using dedicated electric architecture, rapid charging and a low 4 door body. Rear and all wheel drive versions range from everyday grand tourers to high performance Turbo and GT derivatives. It brought Porsche's chassis and performance priorities into electric propulsion while remaining practical enough for family and company car use.
Red List classification, from population, five year trajectory and survival against peak. Reviewed each census.

Population history
Licensed and SORN vehicles at each census. The filters below apply to the family population, MOT and registration figures. They do not alter the generation history above.
Inside the surviving fleet
AutoCensus parses every DVLA variant description, so the fleet can be read by fuel and specification rather than as one number.
First registrations by year
When surviving examples first joined the British fleet.
New registrations
Vehicles first registered each year. A fleet still being sold shows here; a finished one shows only imports.
MOT reliability
DVSA test results for this family, 2022 to 2025.
| Failure reason | Failures | Share of all tests |
|---|---|---|
| Windscreen or window damaged or seriously discoloured but not adversely affecting driver's view | 9 | 11.1% |
| A door will not open using the relevant control or close properly | 4 | 4.9% |
| A tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative | 4 | 4.9% |
| An srs malfunction indicator lamp (mil) indicates a system malfunction | 4 | 4.9% |
| Windscreen washers not working or not providing sufficient fluid to clear the windscreen | 1 | 1.2% |
| A tyre cords visible or damaged | 1 | 1.2% |
Counted across every recorded test, 2022 to 2025. Advisories are excluded.
Where the Taycan remains
Based on MOT test locations, 2025. Test location is a proxy: a vehicle is counted where it was last tested, not where it is kept.

How this record was calculated
Full methodology
Population history combines DVLA VEH0120 Q4 census observations through 2013 with the annual VEH0220 census from 2014 onward. Figures before 2014 cover Great Britain only. Historical VEH0120 is used only when its overlapping UK observations reconcile to the current canonical family definition. Vehicles are grouped into this family using the DVLA GenModel together with durable routing rules for known inconsistencies.
Variant figures are parsed from raw DVLA model descriptions and the original string is always retained. Configuration is only assigned where the model description explicitly identifies it; a blank configuration is not treated as a two door Wrangler. Blank transmission fields are shown as manual because DVLA records the field for automatic vehicles.
MOT figures count tests, not vehicles, and geographic figures count each vehicle at its most recent test location. The decline projection is a straight line fitted to the latest five years and is illustrative only.
