2016 TESLA MODEL SElectric

The 2026‑01‑07 MOT at 70,301 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable, improving trend since the earliest entry in January 2023. The mileage has risen from 46,261 miles in January 2023 to 70,301 miles by January 2026, averaging about 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old Model S. The interval between the 2024‑01‑17 failure and the subsequent 2024‑01‑22 pass (44 miles) suggests a minor issue was rectified before retest, and no significant gaps in testing are evident. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly show wear in this model: suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or corrosion, brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee their absence, so a physical inspection of these areas is essential. Further checks should verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, fluid levels, and confirm that the previous failure was fully resolved; inspecting for hidden corrosion, exhaust integrity, and drivetrain mount condition will complete a thorough assessment of the vehicle’s current state.
