2017 Tesla Model S Electric · LG17 AET

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 96,682 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional nearside rear seat belt buckle and a critically damaged offside front tyre that reached the ply cords. While the car passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of multiple safety-critical failures suggests the previous owner only addressed defects when forced by the tester rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 67,856 miles and September 2025 at 96,682 miles, the car covered nearly 29,000 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern of roughly 9,600 miles annually during that period. This mileage places standard stress on components, which is reflected in the recurring issues regarding tyre wear and brake components across the records. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the history flags an offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint with play in 2023 and thinning brake pads with pitted discs in 2022. The recurring reports of tyres worn to the legal limit or on edges in 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest a persistent alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that remains unaddressed. Additionally, the seat belt buckle failure in 2025 necessitates a physical check of all safety restraints to ensure no further mechanical failures remain in the cabin.
