2016 Tesla Model S Electricity · GY16 AEN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive servicing of consumable components. The most recent test in December 2025 at 93,039 miles identified thin rear brake pads and worn discs on both sides. While the car passed the test, the presence of these advisories indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval and requires immediate attention relative to the mileage covered since the previous inspection. At 93,039 miles over ten years, the Model S has averaged approximately 9,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical annual usage for an electric vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 12,700-mile gap between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 10,800 miles recorded between September 2023 and September 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and battery components. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension assembly, as the failure in September 2023 at 73,875 miles revealed multiple tyre defects including exposed cords and uneven wear. This specific failure suggests a lack of proactive tyre pressure monitoring or an alignment issue at that time. Given the recent advisory on the rear brakes, a mechanical inspection should verify the thickness of the remaining pads and check for rotors to ensure the calipers are not seizing, as the heavy weight of this vehicle places significant stress on the braking hardware.
