Among models with at least 10,000 tests, the Taycan and Boxster are 8.3 percentage points apart. Part of that gap is age: models that left sale years ago are tested as older cars, and older cars fail more often.

Porsche pass rate by age

| 6 to 10 years | 53,681 | 90.2% |
| 11 years and over | 89,694 | 83% |
Porsche pass rates fall by 10 percentage points between the youngest and oldest groups, so compare a model with others of a similar age rather than with the headline figure.
Checking a used Porsche
