2017 TESLA MODEL SElectric

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until December 2026, following a pass on 3 December 2025 at 93,375 miles. The maintenance trend reflects a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing, as evidenced by the failure in November 2025 due to excessive play in both front track rod ends. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the presence of a sidewall defect on the nearside front tyre indicates that minor consumable issues persist even after the vehicle was presented for re-test. The recorded mileage of 93,375 over nine years averages approximately 10,375 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this class. The progression is consistent across the documented history, showing steady accumulation between annual tests. There are no significant gaps in the data, suggesting the car has remained in regular operation throughout its life. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2023 passes indicates periods of stable condition, though the 2025 failure highlights that suspension components are now reaching a stage where they require closer monitoring. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and steering linkages, given the recent failure involving track rod ends. Because these components were replaced late in 2025, verify that the work was completed to a professional standard and check for any residual knocking or uneven tyre wear. The 2023 failure regarding rear brake discs and pads serves as a reminder that the braking system on this model is subject to wear; ensure the current discs show no signs of scoring or pitting. Inspect the tyres for any signs of perishing, as the recurring issue with sidewall degradation suggests the vehicle may be exposed to environmental factors or prolonged periods of stationary storage that affect rubber integrity.
