2016 Tesla Model S Electric · GY16 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 27 July 2026 at 98,188 miles. The record shows no defects or advisories during this latest inspection. While the vehicle experienced a failure in July 2025 due to excessive play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint, the subsequent pass indicates this steering component was addressed. The absence of any recorded advisories in the last two years suggests a consistent standard of upkeep regarding mechanical components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 39,769 miles in July 2019 to the current 98,188 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or periods of unexplained inactivity. The incremental increase in mileage between annual tests, such as the 7,084-mile increase between July 2024 and July 2025, confirms regular and predictable driving patterns. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering systems. Although the track rod end issue was resolved, the 2021 advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit suggests that consumable items like tyres and suspension bushes may occasionally be overlooked until they reach a failure threshold. Given the vehicle's weight and mileage, checking the condition of the control arm bushings, coil springs, and brake discs is advisable to ensure no further wear has developed since the last inspection. The history lacks any mentions of structural corrosion or significant electrical faults, which is positive for a vehicle of this age. The minor issues noted in 2020 and 2021, such as a deteriorated registration plate and tyre wear, represent basic maintenance items rather than systemic mechanical failures. Overall, the MOT record reflects a vehicle that is being maintained in a manner consistent with its age and usage.
