2016 Tesla Model S Electric · FT65 FDJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history, though the frequency of minor advisories suggests a shift toward more frequent consumable maintenance. The October 2025 test at 114,467 miles passed with several advisories, specifically noting a pitted or scored rear brake disc and light oil misting from the nearside rear shock absorber. While these issues do not constitute immediate failures, they indicate the beginning of wear in the braking and suspension systems that will require attention soon. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 34,629 miles in December 2018 to the current 114,467 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing intervals, and the mileage increases appear regular, suggesting the vehicle has been in consistent use rather than sitting idle for long periods. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and suspension components during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of brake-related issues, including thin pads in December 2021, significant juddering at 105,280 miles in October 2024, and the scored rear disc noted in the most recent test. This suggests the braking hardware is reaching the end of its service life. The light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber in October 2025 warrants a close check to ensure the leak is not progressing toward a full seal failure. Tyre maintenance also requires scrutiny. The records show various tyre issues, including perishing in December 2020, edge wear at 94,612 miles in October 2023, and a nail in the nearside front tyre in October 2025. While these are standard consumable items, the history reflects a pattern of addressing tyre wear only as it approaches legal or safety limits. Checking the remaining tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four tyres is advisable.
