2016 TESLA MODEL SElectric

The most recent MOT on 2026‑03‑19 passed the 2016 Tesla Model S at 115 706 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding test on 2026‑03‑18 failed at 115 604 miles, yet no defects were recorded, indicating a minor issue was rectified before the retest. The vehicle has shown consistent passes since March 2023, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend with only a brief setback. Mileage accumulation has been moderate for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. Between March 2023 and March 2024 the car added roughly 9 380 miles, then the annual increase fell to about 7 200 miles in each subsequent year. The rapid two‑day sequence in March 2026, where mileage rose only 102 miles, reflects a prompt retest after the failure and suggests the owner responded quickly to any issue. Overall, the mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for this age group. Although the MOT history records no recurring faults, the high mileage and the recent failure merit a thorough pre‑purchase inspection. Verify battery pack health and cooling‑system integrity, as Tesla batteries can degrade with age and high mileages. Examine brake discs and pads for wear, suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, and the exhaust system for leaks. Check software version and over‑the‑air update logs, and inspect the under‑body for rust or impact damage around the chassis rails. A professional diagnostic scan and a review of any service records will provide additional confidence in the vehicle’s condition.
