2017 Tesla Model X Electric · 10 XO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 15 December 2025, though the record indicates a shifting maintenance trend. While the initial years of the vehicle's life were marked by clean certificates, the last three years have seen a consistent emergence of advisories relating to the suspension and braking systems. This pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and weight, suggesting that while the car remains roadworthy, it is entering a phase where the preventative replacement of worn rubber components and consumables will be necessary to maintain optimal handling and safety. With a recorded mileage of 75,149 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,350 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile, avoiding the risks associated with excessive standing or the accelerated wear found in high-mileage examples. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that the drivetrain and battery should remain robust, but it coincides with the expected lifespan of primary suspension bushings and brake hardware, which is reflected in the recent DVSA advisories. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically the front and rear suspension arm pins and bushes. The history of wear on both the offside front and offside rear suggests a general degradation of the rubber mounts. During a test drive, listen for metallic clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces and feel for any vagueness in the steering. The previous advisory regarding inner edge tyre wear on the offside rear is a critical indicator of potential misalignment or failing bushings, which can lead to premature tyre failure and compromised stability. A thorough physical inspection of all four tyre sidewalls and tread depths is essential to ensure no further perishing or irregular wear is present. Regarding the braking system, the most recent advisory concerning fluctuating front service brakes warrants investigation. This may manifest as a slight shudder through the brake pedal or an uneven feel during deceleration, potentially indicating the onset of binding calipers or uneven pad deposition. Given the vehicle's age, it is also prudent to verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and check the service record for calendar-based maintenance, such as brake fluid flushes and cabin filter replacements. Ensure that the brake discs are free from excessive corrosion and that the regenerative braking system transitions smoothly to the friction brakes without judder.
