2018 Tesla Model X Electricity · GU68 RYX

The 2018 Tesla Model X presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 at 77,015 miles returning a completely clean pass and zero defects. That clean bill of health follows a minor advisory the previous year, suggesting the previous owner addressed the flagged items promptly. The overall record indicates a vehicle that has been consistently roadworthy across five consecutive annual tests, with no recurring or worsening mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent at roughly 9,600 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Annual intervals show steady progression from 28,566 miles in November 2021 through to 77,015 miles in November 2025, with no anomalous jumps or suspiciously low readings that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The 11,055-mile gain between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests is the largest single-year increase, yet it remains well within normal usage parameters for a family-sized electric SUV. The only advisory on record appeared in the November 2024 test at 65,960 miles, when both the nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged for wear close to the legal limit and inner edge wear on both. Inner edge wear on rear tyres of a heavy electric SUV with instant torque delivery is a common pattern and can indicate deferred alignment checks or suspension bush wear rather than simple neglect. The subsequent clean pass in 2025 confirms the tyres were replaced, but a buyer should still inspect the rear suspension bushes, toe and camber settings, and tyre wear patterns in person to verify that the underlying alignment was corrected and not simply masked by new rubber. Beyond that, the EV drivetrain and battery health fall outside the MOT scope, so a buyer should arrange an independent inspection of the high-voltage battery state of health, coolant levels for the thermal management system, and the condition of regenerative braking calibration. The absence of any brake, suspension, or structural advisories across the full five-year record is reassuring, but the weight and torque of a Model X mean that subframe mounts, lower arm bushes, and drive unit mounts deserve a thorough physical check despite the clean paperwork.
