2016 Tesla Model S Electric · A22 TOC

The Tesla Model S presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 50,103 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since 2022. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2016 vehicle. The car covered just 7,776 miles between the March 2025 test at 42,327 miles and the March 2026 test at 50,103 miles. Earlier, it sat at 17,217 miles on 18 January 2022 and rose to 18,663 miles by 3 November 2022, then jumped to 32,806 miles by March 2024. The sparse record shows no failures, advisories, or flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust issues across any entry. Low annual averages near 5,010 miles suggest prolonged standing periods rather than regular daily driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean history. Long idle periods on a 10-year-old EV risk degraded suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers even when the tester recorded no defects. The absence of advisories does not confirm structural integrity beneath sills or battery cooling lines. Check underneath for corrosion and inspect the 12V system and HV battery cooling. Verify tyre sidewall condition and test the brakes for binding after the car stood unused for weeks at a time.
