2017 Tesla Model S Electric · GY67 VWM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable items. The most recent test in June 2026 at 132,953 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a period in 2023 where wiper blades and minor glass damage were noted, suggesting that while the vehicle passes inspections, minor maintenance is often neglected until flagged. The mileage profile is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,773 miles per year. There is a significant acceleration in usage observed between November 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered 23,647 miles in just 11 months. This high rate of use continued, with another 13,887 miles recorded between the April 2025 test and the June 2026 test. Such consistent, high-mileage operation places substantial mechanical stress on the suspension bushings, control arms, and braking components compared to a lower-mileage example. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the edge wear noted on the front tyres often indicates misalignment or worn suspension components. Given the high mileage and the lack of recorded defects in 2022, the buyer should also check for signs of uneven brake wear or sticking calipers on the heavy chassis. The absence of rear seats noted in 2025 suggests the vehicle has been used for commercial or specialized purposes, which necessitates a check of the bulkhead integrity and interior floor for any structural modifications that might not be captured in a standard MOT test.
