2014 TESLA MODEL SELECTRICITY

The 2014 Tesla Model S presents a fully clean MOT record with zero defects flagged across all five recorded tests, and the maintenance trend is demonstrably stable. The most recent examination on 21 March 2026 at 128,546 miles passed with no advisories or failures whatsoever, confirming that all safety-critical systems met DVSA standards at that point. For an electric vehicle of this age, a spotless record across consecutive tests suggests consistent preventative upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation pattern is remarkably linear and typical for the vehicle's age. Between October 2020 at 65,059 miles and March 2026 at 128,546 miles, the car covered approximately 63,487 miles over five and a half years, averaging roughly 11,500 miles annually. There are no anomalous gaps in the test history that would suggest prolonged storage or sudden high-intensity use, and the 13,015-mile jump between the July 2023 test at 97,741 miles and the December 2024 test at 115,531 miles falls within normal variance. The record is clean and consistent, with no mileage irregularities to flag. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that MOT tests only partially assess. The battery pack and high-voltage system warrant particular scrutiny, as battery degradation in a 2014 Model S at this mileage is a realistic concern that no MOT test can evaluate. Inspect the suspension air springs and dampers for leaks or uneven ride height, as these are common failure points on aging Model S vehicles. Check the condition of the 17-inch touchscreen and associated electronic systems, since early units are known to suffer from screen delamination and MCU failures. Examine the brake calipers and discs for corrosion, a frequent issue on electric vehicles where regenerative braking reduces normal friction use and can lead to surface corrosion on lightly used components. Inspect the subframe and suspension mounting points for any signs of corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been operated in areas with heavy road salt use. The tyre condition and remaining tread depth should also be verified, as the high instantaneous torque of the Model S drivetrain can accelerate uneven tyre wear if alignment has not been maintained.
