2017 TESLA MODEL SElectric

The 2017 Tesla Model S demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-09-29 MOT at 75,628 miles recording a pass and no defects. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were flagged across the five-year record, suggesting the vehicle has been well cared for. The absence of advisories or critical failures in all tests confirms no immediate risks to safety or functionality. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,403 miles annually. The 2022-11-22 test at 52,558 miles showed a 22,000-mile jump from the 2021-07-12 test, which could reflect seasonal use or extended periods of inactivity. Subsequent tests at 68,184 (2023-11-16) and 72,996 (2024-10-22) miles show steady growth, with no signs of irregular wear or component stress. The MOT history lacks gaps, suggesting regular servicing and adherence to legal inspection requirements. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s battery health, as MOTs do not assess electrical systems. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and suspension components, which are not routinely tested. Check the brake system for fluid leaks or uneven wear, as these can develop between inspections. Confirm the absence of software glitches via service records, as Tesla’s systems require specialized diagnostics. While the MOT record is clean, these elements warrant in-person scrutiny to ensure long-term reliability.
