A17 BBN MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
10 MOT tests are recorded for this 2017 Tesla Model X (A17 BBN) between March 2020 and September 2025.
The record contains 7 passes and 3 failures.
The most recent test on 25 September 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 10 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick both sides (1.1.13 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”.
Common Problems: TESLA MODEL X
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Falcon Wing Door Sensors(Moderate)
The complex sensors (ultrasonic and capacitive) in the falcon wing doors can fail, leading to "ghost" obstacle detection where the door stops opening or refuses to open at all.
- Front Half-Shaft Shudder(Moderate)
A shudder or vibration felt through the floor and steering wheel under hard acceleration, caused by excessive wear in the front drive shafts (half-shafts).
- Suspension Creaking & Thumping(Moderate)
Like the Model S, the heavy Model X is prone to premature suspension wear. Front lower control arms and sway bar links are common failure points.
- MCU1 eMMC Memory Failure (Recall 21V035)(Moderate)
Like the Model S, early Model X units with MCU1 infotainment systems are prone to eMMC memory failure, leading to a black screen and loss of critical functions. A recall (21V035) covers the replacement of the daughterboard with an improved 64GB chip.
