Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2017 Tesla Model X is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 at 89,846 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, as all tests since 2022-09-30 have passed without issues. The single failure in 2023-09-27 recorded no defects, suggesting no critical mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s consistent passing record over four consecutive tests indicates reliable upkeep, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear. Mileage progression shows a steady annual average of ~9,983 miles, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable jumps include 7,720 miles between 2022-09-30 and 2023-09-27, followed by 7,309 miles by 2024-09-18, and 12,864 miles in the 12 months leading to the 2025-10-03 test. The rapid accumulation in the final year raises potential wear risks for components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain, despite no recorded faults. The sparse defect data suggests either meticulous maintenance or incomplete testing, warranting further scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of exhaust or emissions-related issues in the MOT record is positive, but the vehicle’s age and usage pattern justify verifying battery health and electric motor functionality. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust, particularly in underbody areas, as corrosion can develop in older EVs. No immediate red flags emerge from the MOT history, but the vehicle’s mechanical state requires in-person evaluation to confirm its condition.
