2018 Tesla Model S Electric · FD67 AEK

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026 at 102,646 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the issues identified in previous years have been rectified. The clean sheet from the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing necessary repairs before they escalate into MOT test failures. The mileage reflects a high-use profile, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year over its eight-year life. A significant surge in usage is evident between October 2024 and May 2026, where the car covered 19,361 miles in just under eighteen months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent long-distance driving, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension bushings and rubberized components. However, the intervals between tests have remained relatively consistent on an annual basis, suggesting a regular inspection schedule despite the high mileage. The November 2023 test at 76,202 miles highlighted a lapse in basic consumable maintenance, with the tester flagging tyres worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear, alongside a moisture ingress in the nearside rear inner stop lamp. While these were minor faults, the uneven wear suggests the buyer should inspect the wheel alignment and check for signs of geometry being out of specification. Given the high mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the lower control arms and suspension linkages is essential, as these are common points of failure on heavy electric vehicles subjected to constant use.
