2018 Tesla Model S Electric · J90 TAM

The 2018 Tesla Model S presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-25 confirming no defects at 61,471 miles. The prior tests from 2024-10-15 (53,683 miles) and 2023-11-14 (46,193 miles) also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failure on 2023-11-14 (46,192 miles) was recorded but without defect details, suggesting a technical anomaly rather than a structural concern. The absence of recurring faults in the latest tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,684 miles annually. The gap between the 2021-11-15 test (25,139 miles) and 2023-11-14 test (46,193 miles) reflects a 21,054-mile increase over two years, followed by steady annual growth. The 2024-10-15 test at 53,683 miles and 2025-09-25 test at 61,471 miles show no irregularities in wear patterns. This suggests the vehicle has not experienced excessive strain from rapid mileage surges or prolonged inactivity. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the age, and verify brake disc thickness and caliper function, as these are common wear points. Structural integrity should be assessed for corrosion, especially around the chassis and underbody, though no such issues were flagged in MOT records. The battery and electrical systems, critical for a Tesla, require a specialist evaluation beyond MOT scope. Overall, the MOT history indicates responsible upkeep, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm component condition.
