2018 Tesla Model X Electricity · BJ68 CKC

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-22 resulted in a fail at 98,182 miles — then a same-day pass after repairs. Critical items included non-functional windscreen washers, front brake discs pitted but not seriously weakened, two front tyres with cuts and edge wear, one front tyre below 1.6mm tread depth, a compromised anti-roll bar dust cover, and misaligned headlamp aim. Tyre issues recur strongly: both front tyres showed cuts and edge wear in April 2026; the offside front failed for low tread depth that same day; and in February 2025, the nearside front failed for incorrect fitting. Suspension concerns also repeat — central front suspension arm wear appeared in both February 2025 and February 2024 (though only noted as a minor defect in 2025, and not recorded in 2024). Brake disc wear is new in 2026, and the washer failure and headlamp aim are isolated to this latest test. The defect pattern is worsening. Minor suspension wear was present two years ago; now there’s tyre degradation across both fronts, brake disc scoring, and additional ancillary failures. The vehicle passed cleanly in 2024, had two minor suspension/tyre issues in 2025, then multiple safety-critical defects in 2026 — including one outright tyre failure. At 98,182 miles over eight years, average use is ~12,273 miles per year — above typical UK averages (~10,000/year), but not extreme. This suggests consistent, regular use rather than long periods of inactivity.
