Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 22 July 2026 at 103,864 miles passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last six years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the flagging of mechanical or structural failures during the annual inspections. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and heavy usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year. Since the June 2021 test which recorded 33,352 miles, the car has covered over 70,000 miles. The jump between the 2024 test at 78,037 miles and the 2025 test at 89,809 miles shows a steady rate of accumulation. While this mileage is higher than the average private vehicle, the lack of any recorded faults suggests the previous owners have been proactive in addressing wear-related components. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, an on-site physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage stress. A buyer must examine the suspension bushings and control arms for signs of rubber tearing, as the weight of the Model S places significant load on these parts. The brake system should also be checked for uneven pad wear or sticking calipers, as the MOT only identifies these once they reach a failure threshold. Checking the undercarriage for any impact damage or early corrosion remains necessary to ensure the high-mileage usage has not compromised the structural integrity of the battery housing.
