TESLA MODEL S2017 · ELECTRICITY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 95,756 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively managed the vehicle to avoid the accumulation of minor mechanical or structural faults during the annual inspection process. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. A significant period of use occurred between September 2024 at 39,278 miles and October 2023 at 73,796 miles, during which the car covered over 34,000 miles in just fourteen months. Since that interval, the vehicle added another 22,000 miles before the 2025 test. This pattern suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting idle, which generally prevents seal drying and component degradation. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage electric vehicle wear. The suspension system, specifically the control arm bushings and coil springs, often shows signs of fatigue under the heavy weight of the Model S. Given the recent surge in annual mileage, checking the brake assembly for caliper binding or uneven disc scoring is advisable, as MOT tests only flag brakes once they reach a functional failure threshold. Structural integrity of the chassis remains unconfirmed based on the absence of corrosion advisories over the years. However, the buyer should verify the undercarriage for any impact damage or fluid leaks that a standard MOT test might not capture. The lack of historical advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, but the high-mileage status necessitates a thorough check of rubber components and drivetrain bushings to ensure no hidden accelerated wear is present.
