2018 Tesla Model S Electric · A16 CTM

The Tesla Model S presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 2 April 2026 test at 33,263 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 17 March 2023 through to April 2026 returning a pass and no advisories. A failed entry also appears on 2 April 2026 at the same mileage with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by the pass on the same day. The recorded mileage shows light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 24,690 miles at the March 2023 test, rose to 27,352 by March 2024, 31,193 by April 2025, and 33,263 by April 2026. That equates to roughly 2,500 to 3,000 miles added each year, well below typical averages. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the sequence, and the sparse clean record gives little indication of deferred consumable replacement or ignored wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Low mileage combined with the 2026 same-day fail and pass implies the car may have stood for periods, so check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding calipers from inactivity. Examine the underbody and battery enclosure for structural integrity and any early rust, as the tester logged no advisories on these points. Given the EV drivetrain, verify tyre condition and wiper blades visually since the records cite no wear. The history reflects an owner conducting basic annual compliance, but absence of flagged faults does not confirm component health beyond the test date.
