2018 Tesla Model X Electric · DS 6459

The vehicle demonstrates an exemplary roadworthiness record, maintaining a consistent pass rate with zero defects or advisories recorded across the last five annual inspections. The most recent MOT conducted on 9 September 2025 at 79,217 miles confirms that the vehicle remains in a stable and reliable mechanical state. The absence of any flagged items over this five-year period indicates that the previous owner prioritised proactive maintenance and addressed potential issues before they reached the point of failure during testing. Cumulative mileage sits at 79,217 miles over an eight-year lifespan, averaging approximately 9,900 miles per annum. This usage pattern is entirely typical for a vehicle of this class and suggests regular, consistent operation rather than long-term storage or excessive high-intensity motorway work. The steady progression of mileage between the 2021 test at 24,350 miles and the current figure shows no concerning spikes or periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or battery degradation issues. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always appear on an MOT certificate, specifically the condition of the air suspension system and the integrity of the drive unit seals. While the MOT history is clean, the weight of the Model X places significant stress on suspension bushes and lower control arms, which can develop play that may not be apparent until the vehicle is lifted and checked under load. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion, as the regenerative braking system on this model often leads to under-use of the friction brakes, potentially causing the calipers to bind if the vehicle has been driven conservatively. Confirm that all falcon-wing door sensors and electronic actuators function correctly, as these complex systems fall outside the scope of a standard statutory roadworthiness test.
