2017 Tesla Model X Electric · B3 KFA

The roadworthiness status of this 2017 Tesla Model X is currently stable following a pass on 2026-01-27 at 68,123 miles, though the most recent test highlights immediate maintenance items that require attention. The historical trend shows consistent annual testing with long periods of clean sheets, punctuated only by minor advisory items rather than major structural failures. The tester noted that all four tyres showed wear on the inner edges, with the rear tyres wearing close to the cords despite a 3mm tread depth, alongside a low coolant warning illuminated on the dashboard. These tyre wear patterns strongly suggest a persistent wheel alignment geometry issue, which is common on heavy electric SUVs. The vehicle has accumulated 68,123 miles over its nine-year life, averaging approximately 7,569 miles annually, which represents entirely typical usage for this market segment. Mileage accumulation has remained remarkably steady across the recorded history, increasing from 29,176 miles in November 2020 to 47,009 miles in November 2022, and eventually reaching 62,174 miles by April 2025. Testing intervals remained consistent on an annual basis without any suspicious gaps in the timeline, indicating the car has stayed in active, regular service rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension setup and thermal management systems before finalizing a purchase. The 2024-11-13 test at 61,281 miles previously flagged slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, meaning the heavy front suspension components of this Model X need a comprehensive ramp inspection for wear. Furthermore, the active low coolant warning logged during the January 2026 test demands immediate investigation into the battery thermal management or drive unit cooling loops to prevent potential overheating or electrical derating. Finally, budget for a four-wheel laser alignment check alongside the replacement of all four tyres to correct the inner-edge scrubbing identified by the MOT examiner.
