2016 Tesla Model S Electric · A22 AAX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 at 127,694 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-04-07 at 127,679 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error or technical anomaly, as the mileage difference is minimal. Previous tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record until the final two tests. The lack of recorded issues in earlier years implies the vehicle was well-maintained, though the abrupt fail and pass in April 2026 raises questions about the accuracy of the MOT outcomes. The mileage progression reveals a high annual average of ~12,769 miles, with significant jumps between 2023 (68,703 miles) and 2025 (101,028 miles), followed by a 26,666-mile increase in 2026. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy usage, which could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and drivetrain elements. The sparse MOT history prior to 2023, combined with the recent tests, offers limited insight into long-term trends. However, the absence of structural corrosion or major mechanical failures in prior records implies the vehicle’s frame and core systems remain intact. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the brake system, particularly calipers and discs, given the high mileage and potential for wear. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, may show signs of fatigue from prolonged use. The drivetrain and battery health—critical for a Tesla—should also be verified, as high mileage can impact efficiency and range. While the MOT records lack specific faults, the vehicle’s usage pattern warrants a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm no hidden issues were overlooked during the recent tests.
