2018 Tesla Model S Electricity · BJ68 CKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on December 19, 2023. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair, specifically evidenced by a failure just one day prior to that successful test due to a fractured offside front road wheel and an active TPMS light. While these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass, the history indicates that components are only addressed once they reach a failure threshold rather than through a proactive replacement schedule. At 49,060 miles over eight years, the car has averaged approximately 6,132 miles per year, which aligns with typical low usage patterns for a premium electric vehicle. The data shows a significant gap of 11,156 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, followed by another 1,709 miles between September 2022 and January 2023. This consistent but low mileage suggests light use, which generally reduces the wear on rubber components and bushings compared to higher mileage examples. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension geometry, as the record reveals a recurring history of worn arm bushes and camber play. Faults flagged in September 2021 at 28,796 miles persisted into the September 2022 test at 37,952 miles on both nearside and offside rear upper arms. Although these were not noted in the more recent 2023 tests, the persistence of these advisories suggests the suspension assembly is prone to degradation and may require future attention. The fractured offside front wheel recorded in December 2023 warrants a physical check of the wheel hub assembly and steering components to ensure no secondary stress damage resulted from the impact. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as low-use vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion or seized pistons if the braking system is not regularly exercised.
