2015 Tesla Model S Electric · LM65 AAZ

A largely clean MOT record, interrupted only by a dangerous tyre tread failure on the nearside rear in 2022 and a front‑inner suspension arm bush advisory in 2021, indicates that the vehicle has generally remained roadworthy, with the most recent 2026 test confirming a pass despite a minor advisory about a child‑seat obstruction. The absence of further defects across seven consecutive passes suggests no recurring systemic issues, though the isolated tyre and suspension notes merit focused attention. At 127,018 mi over eleven years the average annual mileage sits around 11,500 mi, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows annual testing with no significant gaps, implying consistent road use rather than prolonged storage. Such mileage places normal wear expectations on consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension components, while the electric drivetrain generally tolerates this mileage without intrinsic degradation. Prospective buyers should inspect the tyre set comprehensively, confirming that the nearside rear tyre has been replaced since the 2022 failure and that the nearside front tyre, previously noted as close to the legal limit, still retains at least 1.6 mm tread across the tread face. Look for uneven wear patterns, sidewall cracks, or bulges, and verify that all four tyres are of the same model and age where possible. The front‑inner suspension arm bush, flagged in 2021, should be examined for any looseness or knocking when the wheel is rocked; audible clunks over bumps or a feeling of play in the steering column could indicate progression of wear that may require bush replacement. During a test drive, listen for any metallic or rubbery noises emanating from the front suspension when traversing speed bumps, and feel for any pull or vibration in the steering that could betray deteriorating bushings. Apply the brakes firmly to ensure consistent pedal feel and absence of pulsation, which would suggest disc or pad issues not captured by the MOT. Finally, verify that the adult seat‑belt on the nearside rear seat is fully accessible and functional, as the child‑seat advisory points to a potential obstruction that could affect occupant safety.
