2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · BJ68 CKF

The 2018 Tesla Model S presents a stable and largely clean roadworthiness profile through its MOT history, with the most recent test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 70,522 miles resulting in a pass. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though a pattern of recurring tyre wear advisories has emerged in the last two annual tests. The December 2025 test flagged the offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, while the December 2024 test at 63,257 miles identified the offside front tyre worn to just 3mm with a cut that had not yet reached the ply or cords. These are consumable items rather than structural or mechanical failures, but their repeated appearance suggests the vehicle may be experiencing uneven wear that warrants closer investigation into wheel alignment, suspension geometry, or driving style. The mileage accumulation of approximately 8,815 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, and the annual test intervals show consistent use without prolonged periods of standing. The mileage progression from 43,537 miles in October 2021 to 70,522 miles in December 2025 indicates steady, predictable accumulation over roughly four years. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest tampering or extended periods of disuse that could lead to deterioration of seals, brake components, or battery health from inactivity. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the condition and wear pattern of all four tyres, including the inner edges, given the recurring advisories on the offside wheels. Uneven wear on the offside front and rear could point to a persistent alignment issue, worn suspension bushes, or damaged track rod ends that have not yet triggered a formal failure. The under tray noted as fitted during the December 2024 test should be inspected for secure mounting and signs of damage, as it protects the battery pack and undercarriage components. The windscreen advisory from December 2023 at 55,217 miles noted damage that did not affect the driver's view at the time, so the current condition of the screen should be verified to confirm the damage has not spread or worsened. Given the vehicle's electric drivetrain, a specialist inspection of the battery health, charging port condition, and regenerative braking system is advisable, as these fall outside the scope of the MOT and are not reflected in the test record.
