2018 Tesla Model S Electric · GY18 XJA

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 126,094 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just six days prior at 125,963 miles. This brief failure likely represented an administrative or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent pass showed no lingering mechanical or safety-related faults. The mileage pattern indicates high annual usage, averaging approximately 15,700 miles per year over its eight-year life. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 51,367 miles, showing a consistent accumulation of roughly 17,000 to 20,000 miles annually. This high rate of travel suggests the car was used for long-distance commuting, which places specific demands on heavy-duty components like the suspension and braking system compared to low-mileage city cars. Given the high mileage and the specific nature of the Model S, a physical inspection must focus on the integrity of the air suspension system. Buyers should check for worn control arm bushings, leaking air struts, or signs of premature tyre wear which often manifest under high mileage cycles. While the MOT record is clean of structural corrosion, the weight of the vehicle accelerates the wear on brake discs and calipers, so ensure there is no uneven wear or binding that has developed since the June test.
